About this banknote

The Bank of Estonia issued the 100 Mark banknote in 1919 as part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series.

The 100 Mark note, identified as Pick number 2A, was printed by Tilgmann Lithography in Finland.

The obverse of the banknote features a woman seated with a spinning wheel. The reverse displays the marble statues "Koit" (Dawn) and "Hämarik" (Dusk) by sculptor August Weizenberg. The note measures 155 x 93 mm and is printed in brown ink. It bears the signatures of Johan Kukk and Jaan Kivisild.
