About this banknote

The 10 Penni Treasury Note of 1918 was issued by the Estonian State Treasury during the early years of the Republic of Estonia. This series was introduced to address the immediate need for currency following Estonia's declaration of independence in 1918. The note measures 68 x 42 mm and was printed by the State Printing Office in Tallinn, Estonia. A notable feature of this series is the stylized sea with waves, an island in the center, and a bird on the right, reflecting Estonia's maritime heritage. The note was demonetized on 1 August 1927.
