History of the banknote
History of the banknote
The 1 kroon was only issued once and had been steadily going out of circulation since a coin of the same value was also issued. At the time of replacement by the euro, it was very rarely found in use on an everyday basis. It can be exchanged indefinitely at the currency museum of Eesti Pank for €0.06.
• 1992: first and only series issued by the Bank of Estonia • 2011: withdrawn from circulation and replaced by the euro
