Estonia 2 Euro 2020 Tartu Peace Treaty

The peace treaty of Tartu between Estonia and Soviet Russia, which ended the Estonian war of independence, was signed on 2nd February 1920. The war between the Estonians and the Bolsheviks lasted from 22nd November 1918 until 2nd February 1920. When Estonia was recognized as an independent country, it received no less than 15 million golden roubles to repair the damage in the country. In June 1940 Soviet troops invaded Estonia once again and the treaty was violated. It wasn't until 1991 that Estonia could once again call itself independent. To commemorate that 100 years ago Estonia first became independent it was decided to issue this special 2 Euro coin. On the face of the coin is a branch with many leaves, this shows the bloom of Estonia after the bloody period. Within this branch are the words "Tartu Rahu" (Tartu Peace Treaty). At the bottom of the coin is the country name Eesti (Estonia) together with the date 02.02.2020. The coin is packed in a printed coin holder.
