About this banknote

The "Eesti Wabariigi Kassataht" (Estonian Treasury Note) valued at 1000 Marks was issued by the Estonian Treasury in 1921. This series was introduced during the early years of Estonia's independence following the end of World War I and the country's liberation from foreign rule. It was part of the broader effort to establish a stable national currency.

The banknote features elaborate floral patterns and an artistic central motif of a woman and children, surrounded by stylized vines and ornaments in green and brown hues. The reverse side includes intricate designs and inscriptions. Notably, this note is cataloged as Pick 50c and is recognized for its distinct artistry, reflecting the early 20th-century design style.
