Finland Mints First Gold Coin Denominated In Euros

It's been struck to commemorate 150 years of Finland having its own currency. In a 100-euro denomination, it contains 5.65 grams of gold, or about 0.1817 troy ounces. [H/T: this converter page.] The list price, according to the Finnish mint Website, is 395 euros for the proof version.


Below, in larger size than the real thing is, is its obverse and reverse. The design came from a Finnish sculptor ["Suomi" = Finland:]
