| Description : The coin, designed by Ivar Sakk, depicts a stylised tree
with leaves, within which are woven letters which spell out the reason for the issue "TARTU RAHU" (Peace of Tartu), as being a
symbol of the young state of Estonia. In 1918 Soviet Russia cancelled the Peace of Brest‐Litovsk and the Red Army started
a military offensive to conquer the Baltic States. Estonia subsequently fought for state independence in the Estonian War of
Independence. In the Tartu Peace Treaty of 1920, Soviet Russia renounced all rights it ever had over Estonia and legally
recognised Estonia as an independent sovereign state and as well as the border between the two states. At the bottom left of
the coin "EESTI" denotes the issuing country Estonia and to the right "02.02.2020" the date of the 100th anniversary.
The coin was minted without mint marks by the Lithuanian mint Lietuvos monetų kalykla in Vilnius. |
