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.

The University of Tartu (Estonian: Tartu Ülikool, German: Universität Dorpat, Russian: Тартуский университет) is a classical university in the city of Tartu, Estonia. Regarded by many Estonians as the country's "national university", it is the highest-ranked university in Estonia as well as one of the highest-ranked in former Eastern Europe. The University of Tartu is a member of the Coimbra Group and was established by King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden in 1632, thus being the second oldest university in the region after Vilnius University.

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.
