    This issue celebrates the 200th anniversary of the birth of Zacharias Topelius (1818-1898), one of Finland’s best-known authors, poets, journalists, and historians.
    Once regarded as one of the most influential figures in society, Topelius is still remembered today as a master storyteller and as a lyricist of best-loved Christmas carols. Topelius was not only a distinguished novelist, he was also the rector of the University of Helsinki and wrote insightful interpretations of social phenomena and structures, as seen in Välskärin kertomuksia (Tales of a Barber-Surgeon), one of his most famous novels.
    The reverse features a stylized image of Topelius and a reference to the sparrows in his tales. The obverse references Topelius’s Koivu ja tähti (The Birch and the Star) fairytale.
