Для национальных монет Финляндия выбрала три похожих дизайна.

На монетах достоинством €2 изображены цветы и ягоды морошки, созданные дизайнером Раймо Хейно (Raimo Heino). Finland chose three designs based upon motifs similar to those used before on national coins.

The motif on this coin comprises cloudberries and cloudberry flowers in a design by Raimo Heino. Edge lettering of the €2 coin: SUOMI FINLAND ***, where the * represents a lion's head.

The artist Pertti Makinen created a motif depicting two flying swans for this coin. The design was taken from his competition entry for a coin to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the independence of Finland.

1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50-cent coins: these show the Finnish heraldic lion in a reproduction of a design by the sculptor Heikki Haivaoja. The heraldic lion in a variety of designs has been used on several Finnish coins over the years, for example on the 1 markka coins between 1964 and 2001.
