| Reverse description | A dynamic figure of a snowboarder is depicted in mid-descent, rendered in an innovative stippled or pixelated artistic style that dissolves the athlete's form into a pattern of snowflakes and dots, evoking motion and winter atmosphere. The Olympic rings accompanied by a stylized flame and the inscription ESTONIA appear in the upper left field. The denomination 10 and the Euro symbol € are positioned in the lower right field. The overall composition conveys speed and athleticism against a deeply mirrored proof background. |

| Additional information |
Estonia joined the Winter Olympics for the first time as an independent post-Soviet state in 1992, but the country's winter sports history runs considerably deeper — Estonian athletes competed under the Soviet flag for decades, and cross-country skiing has held a near-cultural status in the country since the early twentieth century. The 2018 Pyeongchang Games, which this coin commemorates, saw Estonia field a small but competitive team with genuine medal expectations in the skiing disciplines.
KM#87 is a relatively straightforward commemorative issue from Eesti Pank's modern collector series.
