Last year The Bank of Estonia launched a competition in search of a new design for their upcoming Forest Brothers coin. Estonian architect Kaupo Kangro won the competition, winning the 3,000€ prize, he has also designed several other commemorative coins in the past.
The silver coin will be issued in 2026 as part of a series dedicated to resistance against occupying powers. The Forest Brothers were men and women who put up armed resistance to the terror of the Soviet occupation forces to keep alive the people's dream of a free Estonia.
