This is the inaugural coin in the new Presidents of Finland series, and pays tribute to K.J. Ståhlberg, the first President of Finland.

Kaarlo Juho Ståhlberg (1865–1952) was the first president of the Republic of Finland, holding office in 1919–1925.

The obverse of the coin bears the portrait of K.J. Ståhlberg. The reverse features a landscape of Finnish fields, framing an open book depicting a constructed urban environment. All coins in the series will share the same reverse.

A total of eight collector coins will be released in the series, with the coins of K.J. Ståhlberg, L.K. Relander, P.E. Svinhufvud and Kyösti Kallio to be launched in 2016. The coins of Risto Ryti, C.G.E. Mannerheim, J.K. Paasikivi and U.K. Kekkonen are planned for release in 2017.
