Cloudberry

The circulation coin shows the leaves and fruit of the cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus), a characteristic plant of northern Europe and an emblem of Lapland. The country code “FI” appears beneath the blossom.

The cloudberry is regarded in Finland as a symbol of Lapland's untouched wilderness and the subarctic bogs where it grows wild. Rich in vitamin C, it was traditionally valued as a remedy against scurvy and remains a staple of Finnish cuisine, often served as jam or dessert. Its choice as a coin motif reflects the deep connection between Finnish identity and the country's forests, marshes and northern landscape.
