The second Finnish commemorative two-euro coin of 2014 will be launched on 10 November 2014. The special coin was struck in honour of designer Ilmari Tapiovaara. A total of one million commemorative Tapiovaara coins will be released into circulation. The special coin is designed by Harri Koskinen, one of Finland's most esteemed designers.
The designer and interior decorator Ilmari Tapiovaara (1914–1999) ranks amongst the most influential figures in Finnish design. He is remembered for work such as the Domus and Mademoiselle chairs.
The Ilmari Tapiovaara special coin is designed by Pro Finlandia medal winning designer Harri Koskinen, one of the most distinguished contemporary Finnish designers.
”Finnish coin design is set apart by its clean lines. This commemorative two-euro coin de-signed by Harri Koskinen ranks amongst the brightest stars in Finnish special coins. With the release of this coin, every Finnish citizen can obtain a piece of the most valued Finnish art produced in 2014,” says Mint of Finland CEO Paul Gustafsson.
”Designing circulation coins is industrial design at its best, so I was overjoyed to be given this assignment. The challenges involved in designing a commemorative two-euro coin include the small amount of space available and achieving that iconic quality,” says designer Harri Koskinen.
The special euro coin designed by Koskinen makes impressive use of the three-dimensional nature of metal coins. The commemorative special coin depicts a joint be-tween wooden bars – a characteristic feature of Tapiovaara's designs.
”The whole is built of carefully considered details. In his diversity and skill, Ilmari Tapiovaara is one of Finland's all-time industrial designers,” Koskinen concludes.
You can also spot similarities between this commemorative two-euro coin and the Ilmari Tapiovaara and Interior Decoration silver collector coin designed by Koskinen and launched in September.

The special two-euro coin's reverse side is identical to that of ordinary two-euro circulation coins. A total of one million two-euro Ilmari Tapiovaara special coins will be struck, 11,000 of which will be minted in proof quality. Two-euro commemorative coins are legal tender in all euro countries.
The commemorative coin can be obtained as change in regular circulation, or it can be purchased from the Mint of Finland online shop and from retailers.
Mint of Finland is offering the commemorative coins individually in proof quality (EUR 24), in purses of 10 freshly minted UNC-quality coins (EUR 41), and in rolls of 25 freshly minted UNC coins (EUR 90).

Tapiovaara gilt als wichtiges Bindeglied des internationalen Designs des 20. Jahrhunderts. Unter anderem arbeitete er in den Büros von Alvar Aalto in London oder Le Corbusier in Paris – zu seinen Schülern wiederum zählen Eero Aarnio und Yjrö Kukkapuro. Als Gastprofessor am berühmten Illinois Institute of Technology hatte Tapiovaara auch regen Kontakt mit Ludwig Mies van der Rohe.
