The design is set within a raised inner circle, with the surrounding field bearing the circular legend. The inscription 'EESTI VABARIIK' arcs along the upper periphery, with the date '2004' positioned along the lower border, flanked by raised dots as separators. |

| Additional information |
Estonia's return to the Olympics as an independent nation only became possible after 1991, but the 2004 Athens issue carries particular weight — Athens was where Estonian athletes had competed under their own flag for the first time in 1936, before Soviet annexation erased the nation's Olympic identity for five decades. The 2004 coin marks the full restoration of that interrupted thread.
