20 euro silver coin Finland 2022 – Climate research

Silver commemorative coin honoring Finnish climate research. In climate research, Finland occupies one of the leading places in the world. Here you can get special knowledge, for example, in the field of Arctic climatology, greenhouse gas emissions and the study of the carbon balance of forests and soils.

The obverse of this commemorative coin features nature’s own measure of air quality, the bearded lichen. The motif can also be interpreted as a depiction of the lungs, reminding us of the importance of air quality and its study.

The small dots on the back of the coin represent the small particles that form in the air and the data obtained from them. The points form a line diagram, the curve of which can be interpreted as a reflection of the mountainous landscape of the Pallas-Sodankylä observation network in northern Finland.
