Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 07/15/2022 11:14 pm I recently acquired this notgeld from Allenstein (now Olsztyn, Poland) that depicted Bismarck, von Below, and von Scholtz, and I wondered if any of you knew any other examples of notgeld depicting famous historical figures? I am thinking it would make an exciting theme for a new section of my collection. Report this Post to the Staff

oriole Pillar of the Community Canada 5285 Posts	Posted 07/16/2022 11:55 am @ark, there are hundreds! I collect notgeld and have the Grabowski/ Mehl catalogues which are a must for a serious collector. You should get these. There are many themes possible among the thousands of Notgeld issued.

Ark Valued Member Australia 192 Posts	Posted 07/17/2022 12:41 am @oriole, I have always wanted them but its a huge series and very expensive, plus no library in my country has them. I wish they would release a digital version that was more affordable, I would buy it in a heartbeat! Report this Post to the Staff
