To stay with the designer as a momento of his very first Geocoin to be made.
For the last 18 months I have been trying to get the First Estonian Geocoin made, as Estonia did not have their own Geocoin I decided to do it. So after months of fundraise, saving, begging and selling my soul, here it is finally.
The front of the Geocoin shows a design I came up with using an antique brooch as the base. An oak leaf and acorn, which was a sacred tree, and the Estonian coat of arms with its 3 lions.
The 3 colours used, blue, black and white are the colours of the Estonian flag.
The back also shows symbols of Estonia, a cornflower, a barn swallow and a verse from a poem by Estonian poet Lydia Koidula. Her poetry has held an important part of the Estonian independence. This verse symbolizes everyones need to go out and find their own way but reminds us not to lose sight of home.
