All euro coins have a common obverse showing the worth and a national reverse showing an image particular to the country it was issued in; the [[Monarchy|monarchies]] have a picture of their reigning monarch, other countries usually have their national symbols. All the different coins can be used in all the participating member states: e.g. a euro coin bearing an image of the Spanish king is legal tender not only in Spain, but also in Finland (and all the other nations where the euro is in use). There are two-euro, one-euro, fifty-cent, twenty-cent, ten-cent, five-cent, two-cent and one-cent coins, though the latter two are not generally used in Finland (but are still legal tender).
