Five Senti 1995, Coin from Estonia (demonetised 2011)
CoinFive Senti 1995

The second Estonian kroon currency was introduced in 1992, after Estonia gained independence from the USSR. The kroon was subdivided into 100 cents (senti; singular sent). The five senti coin was the smallest denomination issued into circulation (coins with values lower than 5 senti were never made); the first coins which were issued were back-dated 1991.

Coins issued in 1995 circulated for 16 years until 15 January 2011 when they were demonetised and replaced with the Euro, when Estonia joined the Euro currency.
