Euro coins
The legal issuers of euro coins are the euro area countries. The European Commission coordinates all coin matters at euro area level.
The euro coin series comprises eight different denominations: 1, 2, 5, 10, 20 and 50 cent, €1 and €2. All the euro coins are legal tender throughout the euro area.
The euro coins have a common side and a national side.
The common sides of the euro coins show the map of either the European Union or Europe, which symbolises the unity of the European Union. Images of the common sides are available on the web site of the European Central Bank.
The national side indicates the issuing country. They show country-specific designs, surrounded by the 12 stars of the European Union. Images of the national sides of euro coins are available on the web site of the European Central Bank.
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.
