125. rocznica urodzin Fransa Eemila Sillanpää Automatically translated

Obverse

Wewnętrzna część monety przedstawia portret Sillanpää. U góry, w półokręgu, widnieje napis "F. E. SILLANPÄÄ". Po lewej stronie widnieje rok "1888" i znak mennicy. Po prawej stronie widnieje rok "1964", oznaczenie kraju emisji "FI" i rok emisji "2013". Jest to specjalna moneta upamiętniająca dziadka całego narodu. F. E. SILLANPÄÄ był mistrzem stylu, który wniósł do literatury fińskiej głęboki wgląd w relacje między ludźmi a naturą. W 1939 r. otrzymał Nagrodę Nobla za dzieła Meek Heritage i The Maid Silja. Ten mistrzowski autor zyskał jeszcze większą krajową sławę dzięki popularnym występom radiowym i pamiętnym felietonom bożonarodzeniowym. Po latach wojny mistrz pisarstwa przekształcił się w długowłosego "Taata", nieoficjalnego dziadka kraju. Ze wspomnień z dzieciństwa wyłoniła się uwielbiana tradycja świąteczna: Dziadek gromadził cały naród wokół swoich radioodbiorników ze swoimi swobodnymi świątecznymi "rozmowami". Na zewnętrznym otoku monety znajduje się 12 gwiazd Unii Europejskiej. Automatically translated

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

The inner part of the coin depicts Sillanpää's portrait. At the top, in a semi-circle, the words ‘F. E. SILLANPÄÄ’. At the left, the year ‘1888’ and the mintmark. At the right, the year ‘1964’, the indication of the issuing country ‘FI’ and the year of issuance ‘2013’. This is a special coin to commemorate the grandfather of a whole nation. F. E. SILLANPÄÄ was a master of style who brought deep insights about the relationship between people and nature into Finnish literature. He was awarded the Nobel prize in 1939 based in particular on the works Meek Heritage and The Maid Silja. This masterful author gained even more national renown with his popular radio appearances and memorable Christmas columns. After the war years, the master writer evolved into the long-bearded ‘Taata’, the unofficial grandfather to the country. From recollections of his childhood Christmases emerged a well-loved tradition: Grandpa gathered the whole nation devoutly around their radios with his easy-going Christmas ‘talks’. The coin’s outer ring bears the 12 stars of the European Union.
