100 years since the foundation of the University of Tartu

The Obverse depicts, in a stylised manner, the main facade of the University of the City of Tartu, considered by Estonians to be the 'National University' (the imposing entrance on the main facade is featured in the university's logo). At the top is the circular inscription 'RAHVUS ÜLIKOOL' (National University) with the number '100', enclosed between two dots, in the centre. At the base of the facade are, on the left, the inscription 'EESTI' and, on the right, the minting year. In the lower part is the inscription 'UNIVERSITAS TARTUENSIS 1632', written on three lines. On the outside part are placed 12 five-pointed stars, representing the European Union. The coin's Reverse is the new common side of Euro coins, with the face value '2' on the left and the European continent on the right, overlapped by the inscription 'EURO'. Six vertical lines with a star at each end are placed behind the Europe's image.
