0,50 euro 1999-2006

10, 20 and 50-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 map on the common side of the coins shows the European Union before its enlargement on 1 May 2004. The map on the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins illustrates the EU as a group of separate states, whereas the map on the 1 and 2 euro coins illustrates the European Union as one entity.
