About this banknote

The "25 Mark" note was issued by the Ministry of Finance of Estonia in 1919. This series was introduced to address the financial needs of the newly independent Estonia following its declaration of independence in 1918. The series was part of the broader initiative to establish a national currency system during the period of 1918–1923.

The note showcases a central design depicting fishermen at work on the front side. The back side features an agricultural scene with people working in a field, emphasizing Estonia's economic activities at the time. This banknote, cataloged as Pick 47b, was printed by Tilgmann in Helsinki, Finland, using paper sourced from Tervakoski, Finland, with a total production of 5,000,000 pieces.
