The Estonia 2017 Road to Independence 2 euro commemorative coin honours the historical path toward the nation’s sovereignty. The design features a stylised winding road that leads toward a young oak tree, symbolising the growth and resilience of the Estonian state. The imagery reflects the arduous yet determined journey of the Estonian people as they moved toward establishing their independent identity. By incorporating the winding path, the coin serves as a visual metaphor for the historical developments that shaped the country’s modern political status. The national side also includes the country name 'EESTI' and the year of issue. This commemorative coin was released in 2017 with a mintage of 1,500,000 pieces.
