About this banknote

The "Eesti Vabariigi Kassatäht" or "Treasury Note" was issued by the Government of Estonia. This series was introduced between 1920 and 1921, during the early years of Estonia's independence following World War I. The notes were part of a broader effort to establish a stable national currency system.

The 500 Mark note, cataloged as Pick 49e, features a central motif of intricate patterns with the denomination "500" prominently displayed. The inscriptions include "EESTI VABARIIK KASSATÄHT" indicating its status as a treasury note. These notes were critical in circulating a stable currency domestically during their issuance.
