Twenty Senti 2003, Coin from Estonia (demonetised 2011)
CoinTwenty Senti 2003

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 twenty senti coin was a small circulating denomination.

The first two issues were in Aluminium-bronze; this was then changed to nickel-plated steel for the issues from 1997 through to the last issue in 2008.

Coins issued in 2003 circulated for eight years until 15 January 2011 when they were demonetised and replaced with the Euro, when Estonia joined the Euro currency.
