Euro gold and silver commemorative coins (Finland)

Euro gold and silver commemorative coins issued by Finland are special-issue coins minted by the Mint of Finland to commemorate significant events, historical figures, or cultural symbols related to Finland. These coins are legal tender only in Finland, unlike circulating euro coins which are legal tender throughout the Eurozone. They are primarily intended for collectors and investors rather than for general circulation.

Finnish euro commemorative coins are typically struck in precious metals like gold (usually .917 or .900 fineness) and silver (usually .925 or .500 fineness). Their face value ranges from €5 to €100, though the market value greatly exceeds the face value due to the precious metal content and numismatic interest. The designs are unique to each issue and reflect the theme being commemorated.

The Bank of Finland authorizes the release of these coins, specifying the mintage limits, metal composition, and design characteristics. Details of the specifications and themes are published in advance, often generating considerable interest among collectors. These commemorative coins contribute to Finland's numismatic heritage and offer a tangible connection to Finnish history and culture.
