Finnish Sauna culture
The Obverse depicts a typical Finnish landscape with the characteristic Finnish sauna (the word 'sauna' is of Finnish origin and in ancient times its meaning might have been close to that of 'winter home', where in order to increase the temperature it was customary to throw water on stones made hot by fire; today this word indicates the environment inside wellness centres, gyms or other places where beauty and hydrotherapy treatments are carried out). Overlapping the design and close to the edge, on the left are the initials 'FI' (identifying Finland), on the right the mintmark and at the bottom the minting year. On the outer part 12 five-pointed stars, symbol of the European Union. The coin's Reverse is the new common side of Euro coins, with the face value '2' on the left and the European continent on the right, overlapped by the inscription 'EURO'.
