About this banknote

The 1000 Mark banknote was issued by the Provisional Government of the Republic of Estonia in 1918. This series, known as the 5% Short-Term Obligations, was introduced to support government financing during the early days of Estonian independence. The banknote represents a short-term obligation with a 5% annual interest rate, payable on May 1, 1919.

The front side design features the denomination prominently, surrounded by intricate border patterns. It includes inscriptions in multiple languages detailing the repayment conditions. This particular note, cataloged as Pick 6, is a uniface note, meaning it is printed on one side only. It is an essential piece reflecting the financial challenges and solutions during Estonia's nascent independence.
