This stamp commemorates the 100th anniversary of the Treaty of Tartu, signed on February 2, 1920. The design features a stylized map of Estonia, with the border established by the treaty highlighted, alongside a quill pen symbolizing the act of signing. The treaty was a pivotal moment, as Soviet Russia formally recognized the independence of the Republic of Estonia.

The Treaty of Tartu ended the Estonian War of Independence and was the first international treaty recognizing Estonia's sovereignty, which it described as a 'birth certificate' for the nation.
