50 Krooni

The 50 Krooni of 1929 was part of the first fully domestically produced series for the kroon, Estonia's currency introduced in 1928 to replace the mark at a rate of 100:1 following years of post-independence inflation. That the Riigi Trükikoda could print it at all was a point of national pride — earlier Estonian notes had depended on foreign contractors.

Günther Reindorff was one of the most significant graphic artists working in interwar Estonia, and his involvement across the kroon series gave it a visual coherence unusual for a newly established central bank. Karl Doll, who signed his engraving work as "Tael," trained in the European tradition and brought a level of intaglio craft rarely seen from a domestic printshop of that period.
