Next year the Bank of Estonia (Eesti Pank) will release a new two-euro coin to commemorate 500 years of Estonian as a written language. The coin, featuring a special design, will go into circulation in the first half of 2025 to mark a very significant moment in Estonian culture - it will be 500 years since the first publication appeared written in Estonian, thus establishing Estonian as a literary language. The coin was designed by Svetlin Balezdrov and depicts four stylised books forming the letter E. The design is encircled by the words “Eesti kirjakeel 500” and the years 1525 and 2025.
