| Reverse description | The reverse presents an innovative typographic design in which the entire surface of the field is composed of densely arranged letters in a graphic pattern. Upon closer examination, the arrangement of characters resolves into the suggestion of a human face, with balloon-like forms also discernible within the composition, echoing the thematic elements of the obverse. The face value 50 EURO is incorporated into the design, with the letters M and P also appearing as part of the overall typographic field. The design is entirely non-figurative in its immediate impression, inviting closer inspection to reveal its figurative content. This highly stylised approach reflects contemporary Finnish numismatic art direction. |
