2 Euro Finland 2025 - 100 years of Finnkampen - Athletics

The center of the coin features two legs in motion, symbolizing dynamism and the competitive spirit. In the background, lines pointing in two different directions evoke the participating nations - Finland and Sweden - who come together every year for this emblematic sporting event. More than a quest for individual glory, this international event is above all about friendship between neighbors, highlighting team sport and sharing between generations.

The "Finland-Sweden Athletics Internationals" are divided into two separate competitions: one for men, the other for women. The program is rich and varied, including sprint and long-distance races (100 m, 200 m, 400 m, 5000 m), relays such as the 4 × 100 m, and technical disciplines such as the 400 m hurdles, high jump, long jump and pole vault.

The annual event attracts tens of thousands of spectators for two days of intense sporting action. Beyond the results, the event illustrates a long tradition of cooperation and mutual respect between Finland and Sweden.

The upper part of the coin features the mint mark of the Mint of Finland "FI" and the issue date "2025". The outer ring features the twelve stars symbolizing the European Union, placing this sporting commemoration within a broader framework of unity and solidarity.
