This coin commemorates a historically significant event not only for Estonia but for all of humanity. This €2 Commemorative coin from Estonia was minted in 2020 in honor of the 200th Anniversary of the Discovery of Antarctica.

This discovery was made by Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, an explorer and officer of the Russian navy, who, during an expedition to circumnavigate the globe, landed on the shores of Antarctica.

On the Obverse, we can see a beautiful representation of the Vostok Caravel with the inscription “Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen” arched above. To the right, prominently displayed, are the words “EESTI” and the year “2020”. Below, directly under the vessel, is the inscription “ANTARTIKA 200”. The outer edge of the coin features the usual twelve five-pointed stars representing the European states.

On the Reverse, we see the standard Common Side.

The coin is included in a FDC-Coincard.
