Picture Monday, March 30, 2009; Notgeld #15

This particular issue of Notgeld is from Rudolstadt. The Obverse of each note has the Coat of Arms in the center, a bell in the upper two corners, and the denomination in the bottom two corners. The bell must be important, perhaps from the bell tower of the Stadtkirche in Rudolstadt. This image is repeated on the reverse of one of the 50 Pfg. and one of the 100 Pfg. notes. The Stadtkirche also appears in several of the notes. The first series is the 50 pfg. notes. The obverse is the same for all 4 of the 50 pfg. notes.

The next set of notes is the 75 Pfg series. Again the obverse of each 75 Pfg. notes is the same.

Finally, I have the 100 Pfg. notes. There are only 2 of these notes. I am note sure if they made more or just these two.

It is interesting to note that the serial number on the obverse of each note is the same (3044o).I am not sure of the significance of this and why all 10 notes would have the same serial number unless they were provided as a set this way.

Remember to visit my other Notgeld posts. Go to the left sidebar and scroll down to find the links to my other Notgeld posts complete with pictures.At this point I have obviously made 14 posts with pictures of Notgeld. This has been approximately 5 pages out of my 40 page collection. As you can see, I will be at this for some time.
