Interesting fact
The St. Olaf Castle 5 Euro coin from Finland features a unique bimetallic design, with a copper-nickel center surrounded by a brass ring. This interesting fact is that the coin's bimetallic composition was specifically chosen to create a distinctive color contrast between the two metals, with the copper-nickel center having a warm, golden hue and the brass ring having a bright, shiny appearance. This design element adds an extra layer of visual interest to the coin and makes it stand out from other coins in the series.
