Estonia's 100 Krooni series had a long and complicated run — the kroon itself was restored in 1992 after fifty years of Soviet occupation, making any post-independence issue a direct product of that monetary reconstruction. By 2007, the kroon was already living on borrowed time: Estonia had committed to eurozone entry, which it achieved on 1 January 2011, at which point all kroon notes were withdrawn from circulation and exchanged at the fixed irrevocable rate of 15.6466 EEK to the euro.
The "Printed: 30.04.1945" field in the catalog data is almost certainly a data entry error. De La Rue printed this series well after Estonian independence restoration.
