Interesting thread - just discovered it!  1825 Bavarian 1-kreuzer of Maximilian I Joseph - a tiny thin coin, much smaller than a dime!  |

Interesting thread - just discovered it! Zombie thread that was dead for 11 1/2 years, just resurrected by triggersmob.  I almost forgot that while I mostly collect medieval and early modern coins, I dipped my toe into German notgeld because I liked the way some of the designs echoed medieval ones by featuring the local paton saint. So here is a 10 pfennig notgeld from the city of Bingen (I thought I have a coin from a city starting with A but can't find photos for now),   Edited by tdziemia

Nice coins guys. I have not dipped into notgeld at all, even though my Germany coins are my largest collection, approaching 2000 coins, not one notgeld.

I have about 1000 Notgeld notes but only about 5 or 6 coins. One of them is this 10,000 Mark from Westfalen (Freiherr vom Stein) 1923 - the same series of the coin NumisRob posted above  Edited by Bacchus2

Not sure I want to open that can of worms. Did you mean can of Worms?  Interesting that the original "infinite days" turned out to only be 70 (April 24 - July 2). Let's see how far we can extend it. Here is a 1/2 albus of the Duchy of Cleves (Kleve) dated 1513. The ruler, John III was the father of Ann of Cleves, fourth wife of Henry VIII:   Edited by tdziemia

Nice group!
I know those low denomination Empire coins are mostly "a dime a dozen" but that 1906 10 pfennig is pretty sweet.
