The coin with a face value of 8 euros is made of silver, has a circulation of 5 thousand pieces and is associated with the Estonian city of Tartu.

"It struck me that the word ART is contained in TARTU", says the designer, who turns the find into the main conceptual motif of the artistic project. That is why it depicts a window that opens to the town hall of the city, declared the European Capital of Culture for 2024.
