| Additional information |
Estonia's 1934 bronze coinage was struck during a period of sharp political transition — that same year, Konstantin Päts engineered a bloodless coup in March, suspending parliament and ruling by decree. Coin production continued uninterrupted under the new authoritarian government, which leaned on symbols of national continuity to legitimize itself. The KM#15 series was minted at the Tallinn mint, Estonia having established its own facility after independence rather than relying on foreign contractors as it had in the early 1920s.
