| Obverse description | The copper-nickel centre depicts a neoclassical building — identified as the Estonia Theatre in Tallinn — rendered in fine detail with columned portico, flanking wings, and surrounding foliage occupying the majority of the field. The legend 'ESSAI · PATTERN · PROBE' arcs across the upper portion of the centre, indicating the piece's trial or pattern status in three languages. The date '2006' appears in the lower exergual area of the centre. The brass outer ring bears twelve five-pointed stars evenly spaced around its circumference, echoing the design convention of euro coinage. |

| Additional information |
Estonia never actually circulated a coin called the "Xeros," and no such denomination exists in the country's monetary history. The 2004–2011 period saw Estonia maintaining the kroon while preparing for euro adoption, which came in January 2011 — no bimetallic kroon series of this specification was issued in that window either.
