This design features an artwork by the Finnish painter Albert Gustaf Aristides Edelfelt (1854–1905). It shows a group of three boys playing with toy boats on water at the sea shore. One of the boys is guiding a boat with a wooden stick. They are enjoying the simple pleasures of an innocent pastime. It is a wonderful evocation of the value of childhood friendships. The original painting was produced in 1884, and it was recently voted as Finland's most important painting.
