Catherine II of Russia assigned a similar heraldic device to the Russian province of Estonia on October 4, 1788.

The Riigikogu (parliament of the Republic of Estonia) adopted the state coat of arms on the June 19, 1925. The arms were suppressed under the occupation of Estonia by the Soviet Union from 1940.
