100th anniversary of the Baltic States
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania
jointly issued a commemorative euro coin with a common design in 2018,
celebrating the establishment of the States of Estonia and Latvia and the
re-establishment of the State of Lithuania.
The three Baltic States are
symbolically represented as a braid. They are united by their history: a common
past, present and future. A stylised numeral representing the 100th
anniversary, and the heraldic signs of all three States, are featured as well.
At the left side is the name of the issuing country ‘EESTI’ and at the right
