Finland €2 Eino Leino 2016 — Value and Rarity

The 2016 was meant to be the year of writers in Finland, as the second Commemorative is also dedicated to one of them, namely Eino Leino, a well-known Poet, not to everyone, also by the name of Armas Einar Leopold Lönnbohm. Born in 1878 and died in 1926. Commemorative issued on 25/04/2016 marking 90 years since his death.

We see the Obverse where a flame is evident with to the left the profile, recognizable by the silhouette of the mustache, of the same Eino Leino. The flame seems to arise from a tool used to arrange the logs in the fireplace, a poker with the year 2016 below and the Poet's signature in italics. On the left, there are the two letters of Finland FI and the circle with the lion inside, symbol of the Mint. Surrounding it is the European mark with the circle made of stars, 12 equidistant stars.

The Common Side is instead on the Reverse of the coin with the nominal value of 2 Euro.

On the Edge, the words SUOMI FINLAND can be read along with the heads of three lions and it is milled.
