| Beschrijving voorzijde | The Estonian coat of arms occupies the central field, depicting a shield charged with three passant blue lions arranged vertically, flanked on either side by crossed oak branches with detailed foliage rendered in high relief. The legend EESTI VABARIIK arcs along the upper periphery in bold Latin capitals, while the date 1999 appears in the lower field beneath the oak branches. The frosted relief devices contrast against the mirror-like proof field, accentuating the heraldic precision of the design. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The central device features a stylised ancient Estonian geometric symbol — a segmented eight-pointed star set within a circle — rendered in bold, angular relief evoking traditional folk art motifs. This central motif is enclosed within a large open arc reminiscent of the euro symbol, referencing Estonia's aspirations for eurozone membership. Twelve five-pointed stars are distributed around the outer periphery, echoing the European Union's emblematic circle of stars. The denomination 15,65 appears in the lower central field, with the legend KROONI inscribed along the bottom edge in small capitals. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The 15.65 krooni denomination exists for one specific reason: on January 1, 1999, the euro launched as an accounting currency, and the Estonian kroon was pegged to it at exactly 15.6466 krooni per euro — rounded to 15.65 for coin purposes. Estonia had maintained a hard currency board peg since 1992, first to the Deutsche Mark, which itself converted to euros at the fixed rate of 1.95583 DEM per euro, carrying the kroon along with it.
The Bank of Estonia issued this piece as a commemorative marker of that transition date, not for circulation.
