Silver coin €8 Estonia 2024 – Hanseatic city of Tartu

The Hanseatic League’s trading network covered more than 200 European cities, from small, charming provincial towns to proud metropolises that still play an important role in modern international trade. Like the guilds of the day, the purpose of the Hanseatic League was to form an alliance between representatives of the same economic activity: in this case, German merchants who traded around the Baltic Sea and neighboring regions of Northern Europe. In this way, they could better protect their commercial interests, provide greater resistance to greedy princes, and adequately protect themselves from piracy and other misfortunes. Unity creates strength, and this was clear back in the Middle Ages.
Tartu is the European Capital of Culture 2024.
This is the fourth and final coin in a series of collector coins dedicated to Estonian Hanseatic cities.
The coin depicts a window overlooking Tartu Town Hall. In addition, the design uses a typographic solution with the word “Tartu” and the city’s coat of arms.
