Interesting fact
The Pattern 5 Pennia coin was designed by the Finnish artist, Eero Järnefelt, who was also a prominent painter and graphic artist. The coin features a unique design that showcases the Finnish landscape and natural elements, such as a spruce tree, a lake, and the sun setting in the background. The design was meant to symbolize the country's connection to nature and its natural resources.
