The 2023 Estonia 2 euro commemorative coin features the barn swallow, the national bird of Estonia, as its central motif. This elegant bird has long held a place of significance in Estonian culture, frequently appearing in folk songs, literature, and art as a symbol of freedom and the arrival of spring. The design captures the swallow in flight, reflecting the nation's deep connection to its natural landscape and its enduring spirit. By choosing this avian emblem, Estonia highlights its identity and the importance of its biodiversity within the European context. This commemorative issue was released in 2023 with a mintage of 1,000,000 coins.
