About this banknote

The 1000 Marka banknote was issued by the Estonian Treasury during the promissory notes series from 1920 to 1921. This series was introduced to stabilize the economy following Estonia's independence from Russia in 1918, as the new government needed a reliable currency for domestic transactions.

Notably, the banknote features a lilac color and was printed by the State Printing Office in Tallinn, with dimensions of approximately 236 x 119 mm. It is signed by prominent officials including T. Käärik, J. Kukk, and P. Õpik, and only 10,000 of these notes were produced, making them rare collectibles today.
