About this banknote

The "Eesti Ajutise Valitsuse" issued this 500 Mark banknote in Estonia as part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series from 1918 to 1919. This series was introduced to support the newly independent Estonia's financial system after World War I, as the country established its own monetary policy separate from former Russian Imperial notes.

The front side design features intricate geometric patterns and the denomination "500" prominently in each corner. The note includes inscriptions in Estonian, German, Russian, and French, reflecting the multilingual nature of its intended use. Designated as Pick 4, this note is uniface, meaning it is printed only on one side.
