Descrizione del dritto	The inner core of the bimetallic coin features a central design combining a stylised open book with the spine rendered as vertical lines reminiscent of a lyre or harp, evoking the dual heritage of Estonian literary and musical culture. The circular legend in the outer ring reads 'EESTI RAAMAT 500' distributed around the upper arc, with the commemorative years '1525' and '2025' separated by raised dots along the lower arc, marking the 500th anniversary of the first printed book in Estonian. Twelve five-pointed stars are evenly distributed around the outer ring in the standard EU configuration.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Issued to mark the centenary of Estonia's designation of the book as its national symbol — formalized in 1995 but rooted in a cultural movement stretching back to the national awakening of the 19th century — this coin reflects a tradition of print culture that sustained Estonian identity through successive occupations when public expression of nationhood was otherwise suppressed.
