| Description : In 2003, the Baltic Song Festival was recognised by UNESCO as
an intangible cultural heritage within the programme of Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity. A
pupil from Törva, Grete Lisette Gulbis designed the coin. It shows the faces of three singing children above
curved staves with the first notes of the Estonian national anthem and below it a scarf with the pattern "XOXOXOXOXO" (which
in net jargon means "hugs and kisses") ‐ inspired by rows of celebrants shouting for joy, wearing their national
custumes and moving like sea waves. At the top of the coin is the date "2019" and underneath "EESTI" (Estonia), at the bottom
is "LAULUPIDU" (song festival) "150". The coin was minted without mint marks by the Slovak mint Mincovňa Kremnica
š.p. in Kremnica. |
