Estonia Coins
Estonia, a Baltic country member of the European Union, has a rich numismatic history that reflects its past and present. Currently, the official currency in circulation is the euro, adopted in 2011. However, its monetary history is much more extensive and fascinating.
Estonian monetary history
Before adopting the euro, Estonia used the Estonian kroon as its national currency from 1928 to 2010. During the Soviet period (1940-1991), the Soviet ruble was the legal tender. After regaining its independence in 1991, Estonia reintroduced the kroon, which was pegged to the Deutsche Mark and later to the euro through a currency board system.
Numismatic milestones
Highlights in Estonian numismatics include the issuance of the first Estonian euro coin in 2011, which features a map of the country in its design. In addition, Estonia has minted several commemorative euro coins, including one dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia in 2018. The Vaabina medieval coin collection, discovered in 1976, is considered one of the most important numismatic finds in the country, providing valuable information on monetary circulation in the region during the Middle Ages.
