Group of 500 mostly different "Notgeld" currency notes (a bit different from our usual offerings). A visually enticing offering, seemingly all uncirculated. The "Notgeld" or "Emergency Money" notes were produced by various German municipalities, companies and individuals between 1914 and 1923, without official government sanction, as a locally produced means of payment during a highly volatile inflation period for the country. Many of these notes feature elaborate colour illustrations depicting local landmarks, local legends and attractions. Offered as received, including the original owner's receipt of purchase from 2003 (paid US$355.00). Estimate =
