Ten Krooni 2006 Winter Olympics, Coin from Estonia

Ten Krooni 2006 Winter Olympics, Coin from Estonia (demonetised 2011)

Coin	Ten Krooni 2006 Winter Olympics

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 10 krooni denomination was served by a banknote for circulation. Ten krooni coins were only issued as non-circulating commemoratives only (also known as Non-Circulating Legal Tender - NCLT); they were made of silver.

The coins were legal tender until 15 January 2011 when they were demonetised and replaced with the Euro, when Estonia joined the Euro currency.

This coin was issued in celebration of the XX Winter Olympiad in Torino.

It was struck in fine silver (99.9%) in Proof FDC grade only.

No coins of this type were issued into circulation.

Note that Eesti Pank phrases the mintage figure as "maximum mintage", implying that not all coins of the 5,000 limit were actually struck.
