The 500 Krooni was Estonia's highest-denomination banknote during the final years of the kroon, and the 2000 Bundesdruckerei issue was notable for incorporating the Finestra holographic window — one of the more demanding security features of its time, requiring a dedicated window aperture in the substrate rather than a surface-applied foil strip. Bundesdruckerei had supplied Estonian banknotes since the mid-1990s reissue program, a relationship that reflected both the quality requirements Eesti Pank maintained and the limited number of printers capable of this specification.
The kroon was abolished in January 2011 when Estonia joined the eurozone, making this series relatively short-lived in circulation terms. High-denomination notes of the final run were withdrawn early and survive unused in proportionally greater numbers than lower values.
