0,05 euro 1999-2006
1, 2 and 5 cent coins show the Finnish heraldic lion in a reproduction of a design by the sculptor Heikki Häiväoja. 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. The mint mark in Finnish euro coins between 1999 and 2006 was the first letter (M) of the Mint of Finland’s President and CEO (Raimo Makkonen). The common side of the 1, 2 and 5 cent coins show Europe in relation to Africa and Asia on a globe. The common sides are designed by Mr Luc Luycx of the Royal Belgian Mint.
