A Symbol of Estonian Independence
The Eesti kroon served as Estonia's currency from 1928-1940 and again from 1992-2011 before adopting the euro. Our virtual flipper preserves this important piece of national heritage, featuring the Estonian coat of arms on heads and historic designs on tails - perfect for nostalgic decision-making or teaching Estonian history.
