Front The front side of the banknote features ANTON HANSEN TAMMSAARE (1878–1940), one of the most outstanding representatives of 20th-century Estonian critical realism. Some of the best examples of his work are the psychological play “Judith”, the novels “Master of Kõrboja”, "Life and Love", "I Loved a German Girl", the allegorical "The New Vanapagan of Põrgupõhja” and the famous five-part “Truth and Justice”.Tammsaare has found an eternal place in his readers' hearts due to his original language, as well as his line of thought full of paradoxes and unconventional characters living simultaneously in their own time and in eternity. All that makes his work special and attractive to readers of different times. To the right of the portrait, a portion of a boggy landscape is displayed. Back The back side of the banknote depicts a view of the North Tammsaare Farm at Vargamäe where Anton Hansen Tammsaare was born. The first few decades of Tammsaare's life were closely connected with his birthplace. Today, the complex is a museum open to the public. In 1978, in order to commemorate the 100th birthday of the writer, a set of reconstructed buildings were opened. The barn dwelling was built in 1870 and it has a typical North-Estonian ground plan. In the middle, we get a glimpse of the living quarters built in 1933, on the right, there is a barn. The 25-kroon banknotes were printed in 1991 and 1992 by the British printing house Thomas De La Rue and Company Ltd. In June 2002, Eesti Pank put into circulation a new series of 25-kroon banknotes that was printed by the German printing house Giesecke & Devrient GmbH. The main colour remained similar, only some security elements were updated and some details of esign were changed. The portrait is engraved and shifted more to the left. On the back side, the view of the farmstead has been re-drawn with some differing details. The upright fence reaches to the corner of the barn dwelling so that the living quarters stand out better. There is a ladder on the wall of the barn and the trees to the right of the barn dwelling are taller. The watermark depicting the three lions was replaced with a watermark presenting a portrait of Anton Hansen Tammsaare.Instead of the light security thread, a modern, dark security thread with a transparent repeating text “25EEK EESTI PANK” was put into use. On the left edge, there is a holographic foil stripe with a micro-printed repeating text „EESTI PANK”. A micro-printed repeating text “ANTON HANSEN TAMMSAARE” is located under the portrait. In the lower-right corner, there is a tactile element for the visually impaired that represents the letter T in Morse code. The paper contains security fibres that fluoresce green and red under UV light. The motif of a boggy landscape and a security thread on the front side are also UV fluorescent. In 2007, an additional series of 25-kroon banknotes was printed by the German printing house Giesecke & Devrient GmbH. The new series was put into circulation in June 2008. The main colour, design and security elements are the same as on the 2002 banknotes. One difference is that the UV fluorescent rectangle on the back side is placed on the right side (it was in the middle on the 2002 series). The Governor’s signature (Andres Lipstok) and the year (2007) on the front side are also different.
