History of the banknote
History of the banknote
The only printing of the 50 krooni banknote took place in 1994. Fewer 50 krooni notes were ordered by the Bank of Estonia than any other denominations. A medium size banknote, it was one of the most rarely used denominations. It can be exchanged indefinitely at the currency museum of Eesti Pank for €3.20.
• 1994: First and only series issued by the Bank of Estonia; • 2011: withdrawn from circulation and replaced by the euro
