FrontThe front side of the 500-kroon banknote features CARL ROBERT JAKOBSON (1841–1882) – a leading figure of the national awakening movement, politician and active write...r on issues of general interest and importance. He wrote textbooks that were highly appreciated in Estonian schools for decades. In 1878, C. R. Jakobson established a political newspaper Sakala with literary and agricultural supplements. The paper quickly became a vital promoter of the national and cultural awakening taking place in Estonia at the time. His farm in Kurgja set an example to Estonian farmers due to the novel techniques he used in agriculture. To the right of the portrait there is a motif of the newspaper’s title; below, a sheaf bound with a yellow ribbon is depicted. The text on the ribbon says: “Written by C. R. Jakobson”. To the left of the ribbon is a woman with a sickle and to the right a man with a scythe. BackThe back side of the banknote features a view of the South Estonian landscape with forests, meadows and a lake. In the foreground, the Estonian national bird – the barn swallow – is flying. The 500-kroon banknotes were printed in 1991 by the British printing house Thomas De La Rue and Company Ltd. In 1994, an additional series of 500-kroon banknotes was ordered from the British printing house Thomas De La Rue and Company Ltd. The colour, design and basic security features of the new series are the same as on the 1991notes, only some more advanced security elements were added. Instead of the multi-coloured guilloche in the lower-right corner, there is a stylised image of a cornflower. The area to the left of the portrait has been printed in silver ink. The motif instead of the rosette in the upper-left corner bears optically variable ink. The colour changes from purple to golden and green when viewed at different angles. A flying barn swallow has been depicted in the centre of the motif. The vertical serial number is with increasing font size. In 1996, an additional series of 500-kroon banknotes was printed by the British printing house Thomas De La Rue and Company Ltd. The new banknotes were put into circulation in January 1997. The general design and colours remained the same. The portrait of C. R. Jakobson has been changed – the new portrait is engraved. This banknote is the first to include a hologram and a security thread partially embedded in the paper and partially visible as a series of silver dashes or “windows”. The security thread displays a transparent micro-printed repeating text “500KR/EP” when the banknote is held against the light. If viewed at an angle, the hologram displays a barn swallow and denomination “500”. The denomination “500” has also been used as a see-through element. On the back side at the top, there is a micro-printed repeating text “EESTI PANK 500” (intaglio -print). Starting from the 500-kroon banknotes of 1996 the signature of the Member of the Board was replaced with the signature of the Chairman of the Board. In 2000, an additional series of 500-kroon banknotes was printed by the German printing house Bundesdruckerei GmbH. The 500-kroon banknotes printed in 1996 were not modern anymore in terms of their security features. The design of the new series was adjusted to a certain extent and some more advanced security elements were applied. The watermark with three lions was replaced with a watermark depicting the portrait of C. R. Jakobson. A security element for the visually impaired was added representing the letter J in Morse code. To the right of the portrait there is still the motif of the title of Sakala; however a text has been added below the title: “Science and law in the field” („Teadus ja seadus põllul”) which is the heading of the first Estonian study material in agriculture written by C.R.Jakobson. In 2007, an additional series of 500-kroon banknotes was printed by the German printing house Giesecke&Devrient GmbH. The design, colours and basic security features of the new series are the same as on the 2000 notes. The year and the Governor’s signature are different. In terms of security features, the location of the rectangle has been changed.
