It will be on March 9 when the Estonian national commemorative 2-euro coin will be put into circulation to celebrate the “150th anniversary of the Estonian Literature Society”. I already have all the official information and images of the coin that I am going to present to you.

The Estonian Literature Society (Eesti Kirjameeste Selts – EKmS) was an influential association of Estonian intellectuals based in Tartu between 1871 and 1893.

The aim of the Society was the promotion of the Estonian language and literature in order to enrich the social life of Estonia and a greater understanding by Estonians of their history and culture.

The Society published approximately 100 articles during its 18 years of existence, between 1873 and 1890. From 1887 the society also organized literary competitions. The Society systematically collected Estonian folk poetry. Members of the Society collected ancient documents, coins, and ethnological artifacts.

The Society built an extensive library and organized numerous conferences. The beginning of Estonian Russification divided them. One group took a moderate stance towards tsarist demands, the other was an Estonian nationalist faction which largely rejected these concessions. On April 28, 1893, the society was closed by the Tsarist authorities.

The new commemorative coin shows an open book with the words of the first president of the Estonian Literature Society, Jacob Hurt, written on it: "Kui me ei saa suureks rahvaarvult, peame saama suureks vaimult", which means "If we can't be a great nation in numbers, we must be great in spirit', with the year 1872 in which the Estonian Society of Literates was founded. The society was founded in Viljandi and later functioned in Tartu, and helped promote Estonian literature and thus indirectly raise the cultural level of the Estonian people. The coin was designed by Riho Luuse. 

The issue volume of this coin is 1 million pieces, of which 10,000 in Bu quality are presented as you can see in the image.
