Design by Tapio Kettunen

The coin was designed by Tapio Kettunen, who really focused on the past, the present and the future. If you look closely, in the design you will find the profile of a war veteran on the left, and that of a soldier on the right. They represent the war veterans of 1939 – 1945 and the soldiers of today. On the far right, there is a profile on a young person is shown: this represents the future of the country and the hope that there never have to be war veterans again.
