Estonia's 2022 Erasmus commemorative marks the programme's 35th anniversary — a deadline-driven choice, since several eurozone members issued similar pieces that same year under the ECB's coordinated commemorative framework. The Erasmus Programme was established in 1987, initially connecting just 11 countries and funding 3,244 students in its first year; it now moves over 300,000 annually.
Estonia joined the programme in 1999, nearly a decade before euro adoption.
