About this banknote

The Treasury of the Republic of Estonia issued the Treasury Notes of 1920–1921 during a period of stabilizing the national currency following Estonia’s independence. The series was introduced to replace earlier provisional currencies and establish a more robust financial system for the newly independent nation.

The front of the 500 Mark note features intricate line patterns and prominent denominations, with the text emphasizing its legal tender status within Estonia. Notably, Pick 49d was printed without a watermark, reflecting the period's financial constraints and technological capabilities.
