    Short answer

    Finland issued two 2-euro commemorative coins in 2026. The first, released in May, marks 100 years of Yleisradio, the Finnish public broadcaster. The second, first struck at Dipoli in Espoo in August 2026, honours the architects Raili and Reima Pietilä. Its national side shows Dipoli, the building they designed, with the country code FI, the year 2026 and the mint mark. The common European side is the same as on every 2-euro coin.

    Why

    1. Helsinki Mint announced the Yle centenary coin on 21 May 2026.
    2. The Pietilä coin was first struck at Dipoli, as reported by Helsinki Mint and Verkkouutiset.
    3. The ECB explains that commemorative coins share the common side of normal 2-euro coins.

    Details

    Commemorative coins are legal tender at face value in all euro countries, just like normal 2-euro coins.

    Tip

    If you collect coins, check your change. Commemorative coins circulate alongside normal ones.

    What may differ

    Collector versions, such as coin cards and proof coins, are sold above face value by the mint.

    Common misconception

    Commemorative 2-euro coins are only souvenirs and cannot be spent.

    What actually happens

    They are legal tender with the same value as any 2-euro coin.
