	Description : The coin dedicated to Finnish nature was designed after a photo taken by Kari Auvinen in Harmaja. It shows a black and grey hooded crow sitting on a bare bog birch. This bird, which reacts flexibly to new situations, is meant to symbolise the modern Finnish character. Behind him and the birch branches shines the cartographically depicted ‐ but in negative brightness values ‐ full moon. Half hidden by the crow's belly is the Mare Tranquillitatis, where the crew of Apollo 11 carried out the first moon landing in 1969. The dark spot on the left of the coin is the moon crater Copernicus. At the bottom is the year of issue "2017" and on the left the country abbreviation "FI" (Finland). On the right is a lion (the heraldic animal of Finland) the mint mark of the Finnish mint Suomen Rahapaja OY in Vantaa. There is also a 10‐euro silver coin with the same motif.
