About this banknote

The Estonian Provisional Government issued the 5000 Mark banknote in 1918 as part of the 5% Short-Term Obligations series. This series was introduced on November 30, 1918, to establish a national currency following Estonia's declaration of independence.

The 5000 Mark note is uniface, printed on one side only. It was among the highest denominations issued during this period, reflecting the economic conditions and monetary needs of the newly independent Estonia.
