50 vuoden jumbosijojen jälkeen Suomea kerrankin onnisti Lordin hirviöiden muodossa. "Hard Rock Hallelujah" sai kaikkien aikojen piste-ennätyksen samalla ollen ensimmäinen suomalainen kappale joka voittaa Euroviisut. Muistaaksemme tätä historiallista tapahtumaa tämän geokolikon on määrä vierailla kaikissa Euroviisujen isäntäkaupungeissa viimeisen 50 vuoden ajalta.
Joten ETHÄN VIE tätä kolikkio euroopan ulkopuolelle!
I will mark visited cities in another colour than black.
Kaupungit joissa on jo vierailtu muulla värillä kuin mustalla.
