About this banknote

The Bank of Estonia (Eesti Pank) issued the 1000 Marka banknote in 1922 as part of its efforts to stabilize the national currency following Estonia's declaration of independence in 1918. This issuance aimed to replace the German ostmark and Russian ruble, which had been in circulation during the preceding occupations.

The front of the banknote features intricate guilloches in black on a lilac and green underprint. The reverse displays a detailed view of the port of Tallinn (Reval). The watermark consists of light and dark keys. Multiple serial letter varieties exist, and partial prints and color trials were produced.
