About this banknote

**About this banknote**

Issued by the Reichskommissariat Ostland, this 5 punkte note was part of a series used during the German occupation of Estonia in 1945. The note was introduced as a way to regulate textile resources and manage shortages by using a point-based system during the wartime economy.

The front side design features motifs of agricultural workers and textile production, highlighting clothes-making themes. The note is printed in brown and cream colors. Not a legal tender, it was instead used as a rationing coupon. The expiration date printed on the reverse side states it was valid until April 30, 1945.
