A raised rectangle is depicted in the center. On its surface, the country name 'Finland' is written vertically from bottom to top in Finnish 'SUOMI' and Swedish 'FINLAND'. On the sides, the letters 'ND' split the mint year '2006' into two parts: '20' on the left, '06' on the right. The inscription and year form a hammer shape. On both sides of the rectangle are dialogue boxes with speech lines, their 'tails' pointing in an arc towards the center. Along the edge of the coin in an arc at the top and bottom are six five-pointed stars.
