About this banknote
The 200 Mark banknote was issued by the newly established Estonian State Treasury in 1918, during a pivotal period of nation-building following Estonia's declaration of independence from Russia. This series was introduced to support the country's economic stability amid the turmoil of the post-World War I era and featured a total production of just 1,200 notes.
Notable for its brown coloration, this banknote measures 209 by 135 mm and was printed on paper sourced from Finland by Lilius & Herzberg in Helsinki. The signatures of K. Päts, J. Kukk, and A. Uibopuu are present, reflecting the leadership of the young republic. The design incorporates distinctive security features typical of the period, ensuring its integrity as currency in the early days of Estonia’s independence.
