Ещё информация:
The University of Tartu was founded in 1632 and was named Academia Gustaviana in honour of its founder, the King of Sweden Gustav II Adolph.
In 1802, having been closed for a long time due to ravaging war, the University was reopened as Kaiserliche Universitдt Dorpat on the orders of the Russian Emperor Alexander I. Since that time, the University has operated in Tartu without interruptions.
Throughout its history, the University has been successful in developing both natural and medical sciences as well as arts. Thanks to its high standards of teaching and research, many of the University's graduates and scientists have won worldwide recognition.
Since 1919, the University has operated as an Estonian-language classical university. In its present role of alma mater, the University proudly maintains and advances Estonian cultural traditions, at the same time building the international public image of Estonian science and higher education. Promoting progressive ideas and innovation, the University is striving to serve the ideals of both Estonian and world education and science.
In 2002, the University of Tartu celebrates the 370th anniversary of its foundation and the bicentenary of its reopening.
The obverse of the coin designed by Arseni Mцlder in 1992 bearing the big coat of arms of the Republic of Estonia, the words REPUBLIC OF ESTONIA and the issuing year 2002, has been used on commemorative coins of the Bank of Estonia struck in 1992 and 1996. The reverse of the coin designed by Tiiu Kirsipuu bears a polished ellipse depicting a facade of the main building of the University of Tartu dating back to the beginning of the 19th century, as well as the words TARTU ЬLIKOOL and UNIVERSITAS TARTUENSIS.
Struck in pure silver Ag 999/1000 to the PROOF quality, the 10kroon coin measures 38.61 millimeters and weighs 28.28 grams, the rim of the coin has been milled. 10,000 coins have been minted.
The process for manufacturing the master tool for the 10 kroon PROOF silver coin is an example of innovative collaboration between the Royal Australian Mint and the Bank of Estonia. The full three-dimensional image computer file for the reverse of the coin was electronically transferred directly from Tallinn to the engraving machine's computer in Canberra. This approach allowed the PROOF-quality master die, for the first time as much as known, to be produced bypassing the traditional and time-consuming plaster sculpting and reduction processes. | | | |
