Description of the 2 Euro ONU 2005
In 2005, on 25/10/2005, the Finnish UN 2 euro commemorative coin is issued, celebrating the 50 Years since Finland's Accession to the UN.
On the Obverse, a puzzle forms a dove holding an olive branch in its beak. The dove is the recognized symbol of Peace, determined by the synergy and unity of the individual pieces/Countries.

Surrounding the coin are the 12 stars of the European Union arranged in a circle, interrupted only on the right by the dove's wing.
Reverse: The reverse side is the Common Side, identical for all 2 euro coins, both commemorative and non-commemorative, featuring both the nominal value and a map of Europe with the borders of the Countries outlined.
Meanwhile, the edge of the coin is finely milled and bears the inscription: YK 1945 – 2005 FN followed by the 3 lion heads.
