Jean Sibelius

This year it is 150 years ago that Jean Sibelius was born. To commemorate that, the Finnish mint will issue limited editions of three special Sibelius coins: a bi-metallic €2 one, a silver €10 one, and a golden €100.

Artist Nora Tapper has designed the coins. One side has the starry sky and pine trees of Ainola, where Sibelius was captured in many a photograph, and the text “JEAN SIBELIUS”. On the reverse the neck of a violin can be seen. It was the composer’s favorite instrument.
