As has already been mentioned in this forum that Estonia is reluctant coin issuer. Especially when compared to its neighbors Latvia and Lithuania. We turned to the Bank of Estonia have they planned to change their attitude and issue some € 2 commemorative coin.

The answer were that in the basement of the bank are enough two euros and no need to mint. They policy are as possible little number coins for circulation. And they consider maybe Estonia not issue 30 Year Euro Flag coin?

But piece of news that they planned first commemorative for state jubilee at 2018. When become 100 years since the formation of Estonian Republic. This is banks answer, not official information.

Yes, indeed, I have beshrewed this situation many times about Estonian CC's. Even when we had kroons there were rarely any commemoratives. It is much different in Latvia and Lithuania as I've understood. Some time ago I saw a job advertisement by Eesti Pank and dealing with commemoratives was one of the tasks. I also asked Eesti Pank about commemoratives few years ago, suggesting that why not to give a CC for 10 years in EU (as Slovakia did). Anyway, I am glad that there is at least one Estonian CC now and also two others, even though common. I am sure there will be a CC in 2018 and I guess it might contain the Freedom Cross (or part of it) that's erected in Freedom Square in Tallinn because that is something symbolic. We'll see.

An online vote to select the design of a common 2 euro commemorative coin to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Latvian and Estonian states and the 100th anniversary of the re-establishment of the Lithuanian statehood has been launched today. The public has an opportunity to assess six different design offers (per two from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia) which can be viewed, selected and voted for on the website www.balticcoin.eu .

There's another Estonian coin for 2018, and for the same topics actually:

I wonder if other Baltic states also make their own version in addition to the common one, haven't searched for it.

The Maltese coins will feature the 'Baptism of Christ', a marble sculpture created by Giuseppe Mazzuoli (1641-1725). This massive work of art is found in St John's Co-Cathedral and it is one of the foremost expressions of Baroque in Malta. These coins are expected to be issued in March 2018.
  • A silver numismatic coin commemorating the fiftieth anniversary of the Central Bank of Malta. The coin is expected to be issued in April 2018.

  • A euro coin set dated 2018 consisting of the eight Maltese euro circulation coins together with a €2 commemorative coin, which is the third in a series of seven coins featuring Maltese prehistoric structures that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. This set is expected to be issued in June 2018.
  • A €2 commemorative coin featuring the Mnajdra temples. This will be the third in a series of seven coins featuring Maltese prehistoric structures that are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The coin will be issued in rolls of 25 coins each as well as individually in coin cards. This coin is expected to be issued in July 2018.
  • A specially designed blister-pack commemorating Valletta's title of European Capital of Culture 2018. This set, which complements those issued in 2016 and 2017, contains the eight Maltese euro circulation coins. This special edition set will be limited to just 2,000 and is expected to be issued in October 2018.
  • A €2 commemorative coin featuring the winning design of a competition that will be open to secondary school students, the theme for 2018 being 'Cultural Heritage'.

My biannual package from the Sammarinese numismatic office has arrived.

Belgium will release it's first commemorative of 2018 beginning of June. Theme will be the revolt of May 1968. There will only be proof coins and coincards. Since 2018, the Belgians coins are minted in Utrecht by the Dutch Royal Mint (KNM). This is also noticable in the price of the new coins: coincard €10!!! and proof coin €29.95. There will be no coins for circulation.

I mailed the Royal Belgian Mint, this was there answer:

commercialisation of Belgian commemorative coins was awarded to the KNM. Therefor, we cannot intervene in the pricing of the coins. 

I also asked why they don't bring there cc coins in circulation:

Recently Belgian policy is focussing on the European guidelines on the use of existing coin stocks. In the past there was an exessive production of €2 coins. From this point of view we cannot allow additional coins for circulation. Therefor the commemorative coin will only be sold in special packing. The Child Focus coin (2016) was an exception allowed on demand of the Minister of Finance.

I think there used to a guideline that some percentage ( perhaps 60 percent coins) must be released in to circulation. That forced Vatican, Luxembourg to issue coins at face value.

is than no longer applicable?

That guideline only applies to the non-EU, non-eurozone countries using the euro which mint their own euro coins through a monetary agreement (like indeed Vatican City). Luxemburg is a EU and eurozone member and have always issued their euro coins into circulation all the way since 1 January 2002. Likewise Belgium. Even if such a guideline applied to Belgium, they could still meet that requirement using the other value coins. It's percentage of total coins produced not, percentage of each coin value. No country is forced to bring coins of each value into circulation each year. Belgium has only issued €0,01, €0,02, €0,05, €0,10 and €0,50 coins in recent year. No coins bearing the effigy of King Philippe of €0,20, €1 or €2 have appeared in circulation yet.
