This is the ninth issue in the commemorative coin series entitled "Presidents of Finland," and features Mauno Koivisto.

Before serving as the ninth President of Finland between 1982–1994, Mauno Koivisto (1923–2017) completed two terms as Prime Minister. Prior to this, he was the Governor of the Bank of Finland in 1968–1982.

The commemorative coin is being released just before the 95th anniversary of Koivisto’s birth, November 25, 2018. President Koivisto passed away at 93 years of age in 2017.

The obverse of the coin bears a portrait of Mauno Koivisto, while the reverse features the common motif of the Presidents of Finland coin series, symbolizing the President’s mandate from the people.
