About this banknote

The 200 Mark note was issued by the Provisional Government of Estonia in 1920 as part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series. This series was introduced to address financial needs during Estonia's early independence period between 1918 and 1919. The series helped finance the new government amidst post-World War I reconstruction.

The front of the banknote prominently features inscriptions in Estonian, German, French, and Russian, indicating its valuation and validity. It is noteworthy for its intricate geometric patterns and the denomination "200" prominently displayed. A unique aspect of Pick 38 is its issuance during a period when the Estonian kroon had not yet been established, reflecting a transitional financial system.
