The 2018 Finland 2 euro coin celebrates Finnish sauna culture, a unique phenomenon that is at the heart of Finnish identity and way of life. In 2020, UNESCO inscribed the Finnish sauna on the Intangible Cultural Heritage List.

## Description

The 2 euro coin was minted by Finland in 2018 and is dedicated to the Finnish sauna culture - an integral part of Finnish life, traditions and social communication, which UNESCO recognized as an intangible cultural heritage object in 2020.

#### Obverse

The standard obverse of the 2 euro coins: a map of the EU, 12 stars of the European Union, the Vantaa mint mark and the year 2018.

#### Reverse

The reverse depicts the interior of a traditional wooden sauna with a stove and benches - a classic image of a Finnish bathhouse. The inscription "SAUNAKULTTUURI", "SUOMI FINLAND 2018" and the 12 stars of the EU decorate the coin.

#### Historical context

Sauna has been a central element of Finnish culture for thousands of years. There are about 3 million saunas in Finland for a population of 5.5 million. They are a place of relaxation, purification and socialization - people come here with friends, family, and once even business negotiations were held in the sauna. UNESCO included Finnish sauna culture on its list of intangible heritage in 2020.
