About this banknote

The cement factory "Port-Kunda" in Estonia issued this 1 ruble banknote on August 20, 1941. This issuance occurred during a period when localized currencies were introduced as a result of occupation dynamics during World War II.

The front side of the banknote features inscriptions in both German and Estonian with the central motif of the "Port-Kunda" factory emblem. It is colored in blue and cream and includes handwritten signatures and serial numbers. This banknote lacked a Pick catalog number, reflecting its classification as non-standard or local money used during foreign occupation.
