Description: SET of uncirculated ESTONIA Euro cents 2012 – 2c/1c (2 coins) In order to ensure a smooth changeover to the euro, Eesti Pank commissioned 194 million coins from the Mint of Finland. Production started on 20 July 2010. In 2012, Eesti Pank ordered an additional 50 million 1-cent and 2-cent coins from the Royal Dutch Mint.The Estonian euro coins have been designed by Lembit Lõhmus, a renowned graphic artist and author of many post stamps. The design of the Estonian euro coins is based on Estonia's contour map. €1 and €2 represent the outline of the Estonian landscape. In addition, the €2 coin shows the northernmost point of Estonia, Vaindloo island, the westernmost point, Nootamaa isle, the southernmost point near Naha and the easternmost point Narva Euro coins incorporate high-security machine-readable characteristics. They can be used in vending machines throughout the euro area - no matter where they were issued. Sophisticated bi-metal and sandwich technologies have been incorporated into the €1 and €2 coins. The material of the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins is a unique alloy (Nordic gold), which is difficult to melt and used exclusively for coins. Lettering around the edge of the €2 coin and the use of a unique metal composition for the 10, 20 and 50 cent coins protects them against counterfeiting. Common side - The common sides of the eight euro coins have different designs:€2 and €1, 50, 20 and 10 cent show either the European Union before its enlargement on 1.30 May 2004 or, as of 1.30 January 2007, a geographical image of Europe. Coins from Italy (including San Marino and the Vatican City), Austria and Portugal show the more recent design only if they are dated “2008” or later.5, 2 and 1 cent show Europe in relation to Africa and Asia on a globe. National side - The design for the national side of Estonia’s coins is the same for all denominations. It features a geographical image of Estonia and the word “Eesti”, which means “Estonia”. 2 cent/0,02€Diameter (mm): 18.75 Thickness (mm): 1.67 Weight (g): 3.06 Shape: Round Colour: Copper Composition: Copper-covered steel Edge: Smooth with a grooveTotal amount: 14 000 000 1 cent /0,01€Diameter (mm): 16.25 Thickness (mm): 1.67 Weight (g): 2.30 Shape: Round Colour: Copper Composition: Copper-covered steel Edge: SmoothTotal amount: 17 000 000 Shipping and handling: International regular mail - 3.50$.
