2 Euros 100th Anniversary of the Baltic States

Issued jointly by Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to mark a century since all three declared independence in 1918, this was one of the rare eurozone commemorative programs requiring coordinated design and release across multiple sovereign mints. Each nation produced its own version; the Lithuanian issue came from Vilnius. The declarations themselves were separate events — Estonia on February 24, Latvia on November 18, Lithuania on February 16 — yet the centennial program treated them as a unified historical moment, a framing that was as much political as numismatic.
