Eest Pank:

Eesti Pank is planning to issue into circulation a two-euro coin dedicated to Ukraine and freedom that has been designed by a young Ukrainian refugee from the war who is studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts. The coin with the special design should enter into circulation towards the end of this year. Coin cards with the two-euro coin for Ukraine should go on sale this summer though, and Eesti Pank will give the income from sales of them to the Ukrainian central bank.

The Supervisory Board of Eesti Pank approved the design of the coin at an extraordinary meeting held this week. The coin was designed by Daria Titova, who is originally from Kharkiv, and who is currently studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts. The designer explained that the coin features a girl as a symbol of tenderness, protecting a bird in her hand. The design also features an ear of wheat. :no:

Eesti Pank is today issuing two million of the two-euro coins with a special design dedicated to Ukraine and Freedom into circulation through banks and retail outlets. The coin can also be bought for charitable purposes as a commemorative product on a coin card, as the proceeds from the sales of the coin cards will go to support the Ukrainian fight for freedom.

“The two-euro coin dedicated to Ukraine will from today start to reach people throughout Estonia and elsewhere in Europe through shops. This coin reminds people that freedom is the highest value and it comes at a very high price. Ukraine is currently fighting a war at the cost of the lives of its own people for the shared values of the European cultural space, and it is up to us to keep supporting them in this”, said Eesti Pank Governor Madis Müller. He added that Eesti Pank had decided very quickly to issue the two-euro coin dedicated to Ukraine and Freedom and to mint it this year primarily to provide financial support for the Ukrainian central bank so that they would be able to direct their own assistance where it was most needed. “We would like to thank all those who have made a contribution by buying the coin card that was released in the summer. Supporters have come from around the world, and the first donation of 350,000 euros to Ukraine has already been made. There will certainly be more to come, as the sales for charity continue”, he said.
