Picture Monday, February 02, 2009 Alias: Notgeld #7

Here we go for another try. Somehow we posted way before we were ready to go. OK, I accidentally hit "Publish". Regardless, I pulled it down finished it and here we are.

I decided to publish some Notgeld pics for this Monday post. This edition of Notgeld comes to us from Eckartsberga, Germany. It's interesting to note that this Notgeld was printed by Reineck & Klein, just down the road in Weimar. As you can see these notes are round and printed on paper. The 25 Pfennig notes have quotes of some sort on them. I have an assortment of 6 different quotes. I am not sure if there are more. I know that there are not any less.

I am sort of wondering if the pictures on the 50 & 75 Pfennig notes are of the folks whose quotes are on the notes below.

Obviously this is the obverse of the 25 Pfennig note.

The notes below are 50 Pfennig. Again, perhaps the pictures are the ones who generously provided the quotes for the smaller denomination notes. Aren't they kind?

Obverse of 50 Pfennig note.

More equally kind and generous folks. I suppose they are a little more noteworthy. Hence, they are on the larger denomination note, the 75 Pfennig.

Notgeld #5

Well here we go again. Yes, more Notgeld. These individual specimens are some smaller denomination notes. They are all from the city of Erfurt (der Stadt Erfurt). The 10, 20, and 25 pfennig notes are all dated 9, April 1920.

The 50 pfennig note is dated 20, Oktober 1918. Less than a month before the end of the war to end all wars, World War I.

More Notgeld #4

Yes! Here it is! The rest of the Notgeld honoring the German Imperial Colonies and Protectorates. I have probably 1,000 more assorted pieces of unique Notgeld to share so who knows; I may find some more that depicts the colonies. But be assured this feature will be around for some time.
