These VeryScarce “ration coupons” (many of these notes were destroyed) were issued ineach of the three Baltic States (ESTLAND/Estonia, LETTLAND/Latvia, & LITAUEN/Lithuania), so that Germany could maximize the amount of flax and wool that was shipped tothe Fatherland. On the front side of all banknotes represented medallions witha picture of the peasant whipping flax, and a female peasant - sheep shearer.Around the medallions placed text in two languages: "Linen and Wool arethe wealth of the earth."During 1943-1945, the GermanGeneral Commissariat for Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia had issued a variety ofsuch coupons, some of which were issued with a Blank Reverse, Both Sides Printed, Having A Serial Number (or not) on the Obverse, and/or having (or not) an “OST”Watermark …This 3 Punkte coupon / note, it ispart of a SCARCE UNIFACE SERIES issued in 1944 without a Serial Number, and without an Expiration Date.

However, … Ostland should not beconfused with OBER OST, which had a similar role as an occupationauthority for Baltic territories conquered by the German Empire, in World War I.In the Reichskommissariat"Ostland" there were the following Reichskommissariats established: 1) General Commissariat ofLithuania (since 1941 Commissioner General - Theodor Adrian von Renteln), 2) General Commissariat ofLatvia (Commissioner General - Otto H.
