Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Akseli Gallen-Kallela 2 Euro coin is that the design on the coin is based on a painting called "The Defense of the Sampo" by Akseli Gallen-Kallela, a famous Finnish artist. The painting depicts a scene from the Kalevala, a Finnish epic poem, and features a heroic figure holding a sampo, a magical artifact that represents fertility and prosperity. The coin's design incorporates elements of the painting, including the heroic figure and the sampo, and is a unique and beautiful representation of Finnish culture.
