2 euro commemorative coin dedicated to the centenary of the Tartu Peace Treaty 2020

The Eesti Pank Supervisory Board approved the design for the two-euro commemorative coin dedicated to the centenary of the Tartu Peace Treaty by the graphic designer Ivar Sakk. The design by Ivar Sakk was approved after a public competition to design the coin. This two-euro coin will be put into circulation at the beginning of 2020.

The Tartu Peace Treaty was signed between Estonia and Soviet Russia on 2 February 1920 in Tartu, and it fixed the eastern border of Estonia, bringing an end to the War of Independence.

Ivar Sakk is a designer and design historian working in Tallinn. He graduated in 1986 from the department of industrial art of the Estonian state institute of art. After graduation, he worked as a freelance graphic designer for communications agencies. Ivar Sakk has taught at the Estonian Academy of Arts since 2003.

2 euro 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica – Estonia 2020

The discovery of the continent of Antarctica is of special significance to Estonia as the Baltic German seafarer Fabian Gottlieb Benjamin von Bellingshausen (1778–1852), a naval officer in the Imperial Russian Navy, was born in Saaremaa. Bellingshausen was appointed the commander of the southern polar expedition, which left the Russian naval base of Kronstadt in the Gulf of Finland, in July 1819. He had charge of two ships, the Vostok and the Mirny. By December 1819, South Georgia was mapped, and discoveries were made in the South Sandwich Islands. Sailing further south in January 1820, Bellingshausen sighted the coast of Antarctica, but did not then realise the magnitude of his discovery.

The design, which will be shown on the national side of the circulation €2 coin, depicts the ship Vostok in which Admiral von Bellingshausen sailed around the world. The €2 commemorative coin for the bicentenary of the discovery of Antarctica is scheduled to enter circulation at the end of January 2020.

2 euro Lithuanian ethnographic regions – Aukštaitija

Lithuania’s €2 project

We present the first version of the piece with only the 14th century horseman.

drawn by the Lithuanian artist Rolandas RIMKUNAS

 

The second work by Rolandas RIMKUNAS with a rider, in a heraldic coat of arms.

 

Angels have been particularly popular in Lithuania since the end of the 15th century. The Lithuanian Heraldic Commission wanted to introduce angels into the project. The Latin motto chosen for the coat of arms is “Patriam tuam mundum existima”, “consider your homeland as the whole world”. ROLANDAS RIMKUNAS had designed an Angel’s Coat of Arms, which he therefore used for the €2 coin.

 

and we get to the final project!

€2 Latgalian Ceramics 

 Latvijas Banka plans to issue a 2 euro commemorative coin “Latgalian Ceramics” dedicated to the Latgalian pottery next spring.

The traditional pottery established itself for substantial periods of time in two districts, Latgale and Kurzeme, but only in Latgale it has survived throughout the times and has been passed down to the next generations. The Latgalian pottery is included in the Latvian Culture Canon and it represents one of the brightest pages of traditional culture. The national side of the coin will depict a characteristic piece of Latgalian ceramics – clay candelabrum. It will also bear an inscription LATGALES KERAMIKA (Latgalian ceramics), the country name (LATVIJA) as well as the year of issue (2020).

The graphic design of the national side of the new commemorative coin has been created by artist Gundega Rancāne, but the author of the plaster model is Jānis Strupulis. The common side of the coin bearing the nominal value (artist Luc Luycx) is the same as that of other 2 euro circulation coins, including material and size.
