The Official Blister 2010 is the fifth issue in the series "Lighthouses of Finland", and includes the complete circulating euro coinage of Finland, as well as a medal from the series "Finnish lighthouses", featuring the lighthouse at Russaro.
Russaro is an island south of Hanko, closed to the public as it is military area of the Finnish Defence Forces. The island has a five-story stone lighthouse built in 1863 and a Finnish Meteorological Institute weather station.
Finnish euro coins have three designs, though two of them are each found on one coin only. Heikki Haivaoja was the designer of the Finnish euro coins for the minor and middle series of coins, while Pertti Makinen is the designer of the Finnish 1 euro coin and Raimo Heino is the designer of the Finnish 2 Euro coin. |
