About this banknote

The Estonian Ministry of Finance issued the 200 Marka banknote in 1920 as part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series. This series was introduced to address the cash shortage following Estonia's declaration of independence in 1918. The 200 Marka note, assigned Pick number 33, was among the denominations released to stabilize the new national currency.

The front of the 200 Marka banknote features a black design on a rose underprint, characteristic of the 1920 First Issue. The note is uniface, meaning it has printing on only one side. These banknotes were printed in Estonia and Finland, reflecting the country's efforts to establish a self-sufficient monetary system during its early years of independence.
