Finnish Euro ??

Not being bothered to buy krause's 2000-2007 catalougue, I have failed to identify a strange euro dated 2002 with two birds flying over an area of water. There is no legend apart from the date 2002. I though that the finnish ones all portrayed a crowned lion, but I can't think of any other country.

That sounds like the Finnish 1 Euro coin you are describing.

Thanks!

 

The new euro coins from Finland do show the abbreviated country name, by the way - a little "FI" sign. But the older pieces (dated 1999-2006) do not have that yet.

Yeah, they seem to be all hard to get in circulation in France and Italy....

 

Interestingly, there are people who will guess at your answer.
