About this banknote

The issuing authority for the 1 punkt note was the Reichskommissariat Ostland, introduced in 1945. This series was part of a system to manage textile goods distribution during the German occupation of Estonia in World War II. The vouchers specifically facilitated the exchange of flax and wool products.

The front side of the note features a central motif of agricultural workers handling fibers, with inscriptions in both German and Estonian. The design includes imagery of sheep and spindles. This note was printed by Lettlands Wertpapierdruckerei in Riga and was valid until April 30, 1945.
