Make a nature-lover happy by giving a collector coin reminding him or her of the significance of our lovely forests. These collector coins are packaged in purses made of recycled materials by Finnish design company Globe Hope.

The enchantment of the wild never fades. A coin that immortalises the beauty of the wild makes for a fine gift or complement to any collection. This collector coin minted in honour of the Northern wilderness reminds us of the magical beauty of our coniferous forests.

The North is part of the taiga zone of conifers encircling the northern hemisphere. The mental landscape of huntsmen and other inhabitants of the North is inspiring no matter the season, as it shifts from pure white snow to the riot of autumn colour. 

The coin's obverse features boughs of the most familiar conifer, the pine. The adaptability of the pine is without equal, since the tree retains its needles through the long winter and is protected from forest fires by its thick, shell-like bark.

These collector coins are also offered in sets of 10 UNC-quality coins packaged in a purse bearing Mint of Finland logo. A purse of collector coins in celebration of nature provides you with many fun gifts or an interesting complement to your own collection.

Wilderness is the fifth coin released in the internationally acclaimed Northern Nature series. Mint of Finland's Northern Nature series was nominated “Series of the Year” at the international commemorative coin contest held in Russia in September 2013.
