About this banknote
The issuing authority for this banknote was the Latvijas Banka (Bank of Latvia). The 50 Kapeikas note was part of a series issued in 1920, shortly after the formation of the Latvian state in 1918. This series was introduced to stabilize the economy and establish a national currency system after Latvia declared independence.
The 1920 50 Kapeikas banknote, with Pick number 12, features a simple, yet striking design. The central motif prominently displays the denomination "50" and the word "KAPEIKAS" with the inscription "LATVIJAS MAIŅAS ZĪME" above. This note, printed in purple and cream, measures 55 x 35 mm. The simplicity reflects the urgent need for currency in post-war Latvia.
