In 2015, Finland issued a commemorative €2 coin in honour of the 150th anniversary of the birth of the important composer Jean Sibelius, whose work influenced Finland’s musical heritage. The coin’s motif depicts a starry sky above the Finnish landscape, symbolising his inspiration from nature and the national spirit. Sibelius is best known for the composition “Finlandia”, which became a symbol of Finnish identity and freedom.
This version of the coin is struck in proof quality and supplied in an elegant case with a certificate of authenticity.
