Estate offering of 400+ "Notgeld" currency notes (a bit different from our usual offerings), quasi-organized and within packs within a binder. 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, this being the 2nd (and final) installment of these currency notes, as received from a local estate. Estimate =
