The Estonian kroon 5-cent coin featuring a cornflower is one of the rare trial issues produced during the preparatory phase for the introduction of the national currency after Estonia regained its independence. In 1989, a competition was announced for the best design for the Estonian kroon, and one of the designs\u2014featuring a cornflower, designed by Mari K\u00e4bin\u2014was issued as a trial strike. The exact mintage is unknown and is estimated to range from a few pieces to a limited edition. <\/p>\n
This version was not put into circulation, and the final coin design was developed by a different group of artists. Due to the small number of surviving examples, its status as a trial issue, and the use of the cornflower as a national symbol, the coin is of great interest to collectors. <\/p>\n
