About this banknote

In 1922, Estonia issued the 100 Mark banknote as part of its early national currency system following its independence in 1918. This period witnessed the establishment of a stable monetary framework, transitioning from temporary banknotes to more formalized currency structures. The new currency aimed to facilitate economic activities and align with global standards.

The 100 Mark was among the treasury and banknotes used between 1918 and 1923, reflecting the efforts to create a recognized financial identity. This era was characterized by a need for robust economic tools amid the challenges of nation-building and establishing reliable fiscal policies.
