About this banknote

The Eesti Pank issued the 5 Krooni banknote in 1929 as part of the series known as the Bank Notes of 1928–1940. This series was introduced following the monetary reform that established the First Estonian Kroon replacing the previous mark currency. The reform aimed to stabilize the economy and establish a national currency.

The front side of the banknote features a depiction of a fisherman holding an oar, symbolizing Estonia's close connection to the sea. The back side displays the Estonian coat of arms with three lions. This specific note is identified in catalogs as Pick 62s, and it was printed with attention to intricate security features to prevent counterfeiting.
