Banknotes of Estonia

The Bank of Estonia was restored in 1990, a year before the country regained formal independence from the USSR: it was, for months, a central bank without a state of its own behind it yet.

From the mark to the kroon, twice

The kroon replaced the Estonian mark in 1928, at a rate of one hundred marks to the kroon, and disappeared with the Soviet occupation of 1940. With independence regained in 1991, Estonia relaunched the kroon in 1992 to replace the ruble, the first of the three Baltic republics to have its own currency again.

Grandmaster Paul Keres, a multiple-time world title contender and one of the country's most beloved figures, illustrates the 5 kroon note; the poet Lydia Koidula appears on the 100.
