Obverse descriptionThe coin dedicated to the cornflower shows a stylised flower leaning towards the viewer in its natural environment of a windblown field of cereal. The flowers of the whole cornflower have an eight-pointed motif at the centre that is an Estonian folk design and symbol that is commonly found in traditional patterns as a sign of luck and a symbol of love.
