2 euro Finland 2007 - 90th anniversary of independence Finnish (proof)

The 2-euro theme marking the 90th anniversary of Finnish independence represents an important milestone in the country’s history and celebrates the struggle for sovereignty and freedom. Since 1917, when Finland declared independence from Russia, the country has travelled a long path of development and strengthened its national identity. The anniversary is an opportunity to recognise the courage and determination of the Finnish people, who stood up for their freedom. It is also an opportunity to recall the values on which Finnish society is founded, such as democracy, equality and civic participation. The celebrations of the 90th anniversary of independence serve as an opportunity to reflect on the past, celebrate the present and consider Finland’s prospects for the future.
