This is the first official mint set issued by Central Bank of Estonia (Eesti Pank). It features all eight of the new euro coins celebrating the country's entry into the eurozone.

Estonia has become the 17th member of the eurozone - the first ex-Soviet state to adopt the EU single currency. The changeover from the kroon to the euro started at midnight on January 1, 2011 in the small Baltic nation of 1.3 million people.

Estonian euro coins feature a single design for all eight coins. This is a design by Lembit Lõhmus and features a silhouette map of Estonia together with the word Eesti (Estonia) and twelve stars, symbolic of the European Union, surrounding the map.
