Trophy

[edit]

The trophy of the tournament was made before World War II, though its origins are unknown. It was remended by Estonian goldsmith Jaak Tammist.[4]

The original trophy features twelve shields for engraving the winners of each tournament edition. It has been initially planned that the most successful club would permanently retain the trophy once all the shields are used up.
