An emergency issue that states upon its face that it's good until one year after the "final peace", and I wonder whether that term ended up being interpreted as the date of the armistice or that of the signing of the Treaty of Versailles.

I would think that they might get worse over time.

PatAR Valued Member United States 262 Posts	Posted 06/06/2016 8:36 pm Neat! I have not seen one of this type before. Do you know if they are listed in Krause under the associated German state or if they are exclusive to specialty book(s)? Report this Post to the Staff

The catalogue reference I've seen associated with this is Funck 80.2, for whatever that's worth. Quote: Are you planning to do anything about the rust spots? I don't know if I should. I'd say for the moment, no. Colligo ergo sum Edited by Lucky Cuss 06/06/2016 9:58 pm Report this Post to the Staff
Potsdam Valued Member Germany 303 Posts	Posted 06/07/2016 01:59 am The Funck catalogue covers only Notgeld and is the main/standard reference here in Germany when it comes to these coins. Report this Post to the Staff
UltraRant Pillar of the Community Norway 1358 Posts	Posted 06/07/2016 02:09 am This is yet another lovely piece of Notgeld. Thanks for posting! I'm not surprised that it's rusty: Notgeld was produced during war times when (high quality) resources were scarce. I have some Notgeld, like the Ocher Groshen, that's much more rusty than this. Best to do is to keep it in a low oxygen spot to stop the corrosive process. Report this Post to the Staff
