2022 marks 150 years since the Society of Estonian Literati was founded.

The Society of Estonian Literati was founded in 1872 in Viljandi. The society was founded to promote literature and writing in Estonian and through that to raise the level of culture of the Estonian nation.

The design shows an open book with the words of the first president of the Society of Estonian Literati, Jacob Hurt, written on it: “Kui me ei saa suureks rahvaarvult, peame saama suureks vaimult”, meaning ‘If we cannot be a great nation in number, we must be great in spirit’.

The pan-european map-and-denomination image created by Luc Luycx appears on the reverse.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.
