About this banknote

The Estonian Provisional Government issued the 50 Mark banknote in 1919 as part of its efforts to establish a national currency following the country's declaration of independence in 1918. This banknote was part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series, introduced to stabilize the economy during the transition from foreign currencies to the Estonian mark.

The front side of the note features intricate geometric patterns and ornate designs in green, with the denomination "50" prominently displayed in all four corners. The reverse side showcases a central globe motif, symbolizing Estonia's emerging presence on the world stage. This banknote, identified as Pick number 14A, was printed on both sides and includes the series designation "Series D" (Seeria D) on the front.
