"Set 7:

The overall theme is Eesti keel = Estonian language.

1-5c coins theme seems to be something like world and nature around us:
emamaa = motherland
elupuu = tree of life
maailm = world
ööpäev = night and day
isamaa = fatherland
kaljukivi = rock (stone)
puu = tree
koerailm = nasty weather (literally dog's weather, the same saying as in Finnish)
sügis = autumn
vesi = water
õunapuu = apple tree
suvi = summer
talv = winter

10-50c coins tell about actions, existence, being, doing:
tegema = to do
kulgema = to walk/go
elab = is living/alive
joon = I drink
jook = a drink
olema = to be
ujun = I swim
koolema = to stop working/to die (In Estonian to die is actually 'surra/surema', but 'koolema' seems to be used more in contexts like 'the motor is dead', 'the battery is dead')
elamus = experience (like in 'a wonderful experience')
elan = I live/I'm alive
on = is
sööma = to eat

1-2€ coins contain one's relatives:
laps = child
mees = man/husband
ema = mother
minia = daughter-in-law
naisemees = married man
poeg = boy/son
väi = son-in-law
naine = woman/wife
tütar = daughter
isa = father
perekond = family
lapsepõlv = childhood
käli = sister-in-law (wife's sister)
nadu = sister-in-law (husband's sister) "
