Interesting fact

The Pattern 50 Pennia coin was designed by the Finnish artist, Akseli Gallen-Kallela, who is known for his work in the Art Nouveau style. The coin features a unique design that showcases the country's natural beauty, with a spruce tree on one side and a swan on the other. The use of aluminum in the coin's production was a deliberate choice, as it was a relatively new material at the time and symbolized Finland's commitment to innovation and progress.
