Two-euro commemorative coin dedicated to Ukraine goes on sale in Estonia

The Bank of Estonia started selling the coin card featuring the two-euro coin dedicated to Ukraine and freedom and will give the income from its sales of them to the Ukrainian central bank.

The coin was designed by Daria Titova, a young Ukrainian refugee from the war who is studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts, the official website of the Bank of Estonia said. 

The coin card costs 18 euros. The Bank of Estonia will announce how much income from the sales of the coin cards will go to the Ukrainian central bank once the number of coin cards sold is known, and tax and the cost of the sales channels have been deducted. It is initially planning to produce 40,000 coin cards but is prepared to increase the number if demand should prove stronger.

“It normally takes 18 months to create a two-euro coin with a special design, but in this case, we managed it in four months as we wished to support Ukraine faster. The Estonian Academy of Arts played a key role, quickly organising a design competition among Ukrainian refugees who study at the Academy. Ukraine is fighting for its freedom, and every euro counts”, said Governor of the Bank of Estonia Madis Müller.

The two-euro coin dedicated to Ukraine and freedom features a girl as a symbol of tenderness, protecting a bird in her hand. The design also features an ear of wheat.
