About this banknote

The Republic of Estonia began issuing the "5% Short-Term Obligations" series in 1918, during its early years of independence following World War I. This series was introduced as a means to stabilize the national economy and support financial obligations amidst the transition from foreign rule to an independent governance structure.

This 100 Mark note, catalogued as Pick 15, features a uniface design printed only on one side. It includes inscriptions confirming the obligation in multiple languages, indicative of Estonia's diverse linguistic environment at the time. The note was part of a short-term financial initiative and represents a historical period of economic restructuring in Estonia.
