välimerkkimerkki

Välimerkkimerkki is a type of bilingual license plate that is used in Finland. The name "välimerkkimerkki" literally translates to "Mediterranean mark" in Finnish, which refers to the idea that this license plate design is reminiscent of those used in Mediterranean countries.

Distinctive features of välimerkkimerkki include a rectangular shape with a narrow border at the top and a wider border at the bottom. The plate has a background color that varies from light to dark blue, representing the colors of the sea. In the center of the plate, the Finnish national coat of arms is featured, along with the country code "FIN". The font used to display the registration number and other information is typically in a clear, easy-to-read sans-serif font.

The major difference between,stdent and välimerkkimerkki plates is the background color. Välimerkkimerki plates have a darker blue with a silver-blue pattern mimicking the shapes of the Mediterranean Sea, while stdent plates have a light blue background. The registration number and other lettering remain the same across both types of plates.

Välimerkkimerkki plates have been produced since the early 2000s, and are primarily issued to residents of Helsinki, the nation's capital and largest city. The introduction of the new design was aimed at commemorating the connections between Finland and the Mediterranean region through ship traffic, trade, and cultural exchange.

Both stdent and välimerkkimerkki plates are valid for use in Finland, with no discernible difference in terms of functionality or functionality. However, the välimerkkimerkki design is generally seen as a more visually appealing option, with its reference to Finnish history and international trade.
