Here is a link to the press release.

While the above has an image, here is a link with a ever so slightly larger image.

Interesting, especially the reverse. And, hmm, I have seen Snellman on a Finnish coin (and note) before ... :-)

Hm... am I the only one who see the no raised rim features? Or I guess it's a bit too early to say?

Maybe it's because that is not the actual coin yet. But I actually have several Finnish commems that either have no elevated rim at all (e.g. Paasikivi 1970, Lahti MM 1978, Kalevala 1985) or a very subtle rim only (e.g. Turku 1979, Kekkonen 1981). As for this one, well, next year we will know more ...

Just to clarify what you see in the image: the flat outer ring on the plaster model that you see is not a part of the actual coin. It is only on the cast image. There will most likely be a raised rim on this coin.

Christian is correct though. Some of the Finnish commemoratives of the 1980s and early 90s have little to no raised rim. They are some of my favorites because of the this feature.

Today is the official day of release:

Here is an image of the coin; not exactly an actual image, but in that general direction.

Another nice design. I especiallly like the reverse.

Me too.
