It's rather disappointing that Finnish design has come to this. It's no so many years ago that Finnish coins were held in high esteem for their design. Now, recently Bimat has been complaining that all their sport commemorative coin designs look similar. Finland even produced a design in recent years that looked like a copy of the Canadian Loonie design.
Come on, Finland! You can do better than this. Have a look at the UK's commemorative coins of the 21st century: there you find the good, the bad, the ugly; the staid, the excellent; the old-fashioned and the ultra-modern. It looks as if Finland is just too afraid to experiment these days.
