Finland 2023 Nature protection colored

Finland's first nature conservation law. Nature protection in Finland

The beetle (Tragosoma depsarium) depicted on the obverse side of the special euro coin reminds us of the importance of the Nature Conservation Act. The longhorn beetle is classified as a highly endangered species in Finland. Beetles work at various levels of the ecosystem and are thereby an important group in terms of the functioning of biodiversity as a whole.

Helsinki-based designer Sandra Prami has designed the illustrative theme.
