In 2015, Finland issued a commemorative €2 coin to mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Akseli Gallen-Kallela, an important Finnish painter and designer. His works, inspired by Finnish folklore and the Kalevala epic, played an important role in national art and culture. The coin’s motif depicts details from his work that reflect his unique style and visionary approach to art.
