It classifies as a Grossgeld 1918 issue. (Kleingeldscheine are notes under 1m in face value).

I don't know why (perhaps just not used to seeing that high a denomination for this genre in general), but my brain was saying "20 pfennig" when it clearly is a 20 mark note.

I paid a small multiple of that 2 dollar quote, but am still happy with the acquisition.

A set issued by the village of Ströbeck, long known for being a center for the playing of chess. I've been meaning to acquire these six notes for some time on account of their allegorical representation of world politics from the viewpoint of post-WWI Germany.

I believe the personage prominently depicted on one of the notes is supposed to be British Prime Minister David Lloyd George, who is described as "The World Chess Master".

On another note, politics is not the topic with the patchwork of fields being described as "A Chessboard of Nature".

A rather attractive 5 mark note issued by Wyk auf Föhr.

A rather grim theme with this one I've just acquired....

Here's an issue of the Hanseatic City of Lüneburg, a rather pretty note in the odd denomination of 80 pfennig.

Actually, I'd misidentified this last note, as it's an issue of Walsrode. The area depicted is Lüneburg Heath.

That last note posted, is from a set of 6 issued in Soltau.
Just trying to clarify for collectors with or without the serienscheine catalogues......

If anyone has a note that looks a bit 'different' for any reason to them, I can usually help in identifying it for you. Any questions or queries you have around notgeld (not the coinage though), please see my other notgeld post as I do try and post on that fairly regularly. There is a lot of info already in there.
