The Estonian €2 coin from 2020 was issued to mark the 200th anniversary of the discovery of Antarctica. The issue recalls the role of the Estonian navigator Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen, who was among the first to record the Antarctic continent during a Russian expedition in 1820. The coin’s motif highlights the importance of this historic discovery to world geography and the exploration of unknown territories.
The coin in BU quality is issued in an official commemorative card with a mintage of 10,000 pieces and an exceptionally attractive ship design.
