On the inside of the coin is a portrait of Sillanpää. At the top in a semicircle are the words “FE SILLANPÄÄ”. On the left is the year “1888” and the mint mark. On the right is the year “1964”, the country of issue “FI” and the year of manufacture “2013”. This is a special coin in memory of the grandfather of an entire nation. FE SILLANPÄÄ was a master of style who brought deep ideas about the relationship between man and nature to Finnish literature. In 1939, he was awarded the Nobel Prize, in particular, for his works “The Gentle Legacy” and “The Virgin Silla”.
This masterful writer gained even greater national fame through his popular radio appearances and memorable Christmas columns. After the war years, the master writer turned into the long-bearded "Thaat", the unofficial grandfather of the country. From the memories of his childhood Christmas holidays, a favorite tradition arose: grandfather gathered the whole nation around the radio with his light Christmas “speeches.” The outer ring of the coin features the 12 stars of the European Union.
