Quite like these 2 pieces 50 pfennig issued in Altona just around the end of WWI   50 pfennig issued in Schleswig 1920, I just love that type of artwork used on the number '50', nice colours & a nice dry seal imprint.   |

Indeed - wonderful pieces. The 'dry seal imprint' you refer to, appear on lots of notgeld issues, which could make up a nice collection in themselves. It is known as a 'praegestempel' - (embossed or raised stampmark)

@ScotsGreyhound - Both are 'grossgeld' pieces. IE) notes with a face-value of over 1m. (All the 'kleingeld' (small value notes) have face-values in pfennigs........10, 25, 50, etc etc.........that you see most of the serienscheine pieces have.
You get a lot of face value 5m notes dating from 1918. The basic sets seem to be 5+10+25m............I'll scan an example for you shortly........

5m+10m+20m - of course!! In usual economic and currency terms, you would use a 5 + 20 note to make the 25!!  The 5m & 10m notes have the raised stampmark, but I just scanned the best looking sides! |

As the face values get larger.......like these 100m and 500m notes, notice the date is now 1922........and not 1918!! All these notes are 'common' and reflect the state of the economy and inflation/prices needed in day-to-day trade.  (The star-shaped punch mark, is where the note has been cancelled.) |

Great notes @notgeldman, thanks for posting those. I've also got some Grossgeld from the hyperinflation period too, some are much nicer than the Reichsbank notes. |

If the notes are from 1922 or 1923, we would call them 'Inflationary' issues......rather than 'grossgeld'. There are notgeld categories of notes for 'Inflation 1922' and 'Inflation 1923'. They are the 5th & 6th basic notgeld categories in the time period sequence of notgeld issues.  |
