| Obverse description | The obverse features a bimetallic composition in which the central gold (.750) insert displays a series of bold diagonal ridges or folded planes rendered in high relief, evoking a dynamic, sculptural design motif representative of modern Finnish design sensibility. The surrounding silver (.925) ring carries the legend WORLD DESIGN CAPITAL HELSINKI 2012 inscribed along the upper arc, with a small mint mark (lion) appearing at the base. The field of the silver ring is left plain and unadorned, allowing the contrasting gold centre to serve as the dominant visual element. |
