- The 5 krooni banknote (5 EEK) is a denomination of the Estonian kroon, the former currency of Estonia. Paul Keres (1916–1975), an Estonian international Grandmaster and prominent chess theorist, is featured with an engraved portrait on the obverse. The reverse features a panoramic view of the Hermann Castle in the Estonian city of Narva and, across the Narva river, the neighbouring Ivangorod Fortress. The 5 krooni banknote was first issued in June 1992, shortly after the restoration of the independent Republic of Estonia in August 1991, and it remained in circulation until the kroon was replaced by the euro. A 5 krooni coin was also minted but the banknote was in circulation in much greater numbers. As of now, the note can be exchanged indefinitely at the currency museum of Eesti Pank for €0.32. (en)
