This provincial coin with a nominal value of five euros depicts the hedgehog. The collector coin's reverse bears the historic coat of arms of Uusimaa.
The hedgehog, that prickly snuffler of our backyards, is the emblematic animal of Uusimaa. The hedgehog lives in urban areas, close to human habitation, and is a regular guest in many a yard. As a rule, hedgehogs go about by twilight and night. Despite its rotund and short-legged frame, the sympathetic hedgehog is an agile and fast runner. The hedgehog spread to Finland in the 19th century and is a protected species.
