Estonia 1 Kroon 1990 Restrike Issue
X# Tn6; In 1990, the Soviet Union was collapsing, and three of its republics, Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania (which had been annexed during World War II) were all fighting to gain their independence. As part of this national agitation, copies of this 1-kroon coin were privately re-struck with the new date "1990". These had no currency value but were used as popular souvenirs and expressed the desire of the Estonians to re-establish their lost country.
