GERMAN INFLATIONARY CURRENCY, nearly 600 pieces
Germany: [1917 - 1921]. An album containing nearly 600 pieces of German inflationary bank notes, all appearing to be from 1917 to 1921, and of various sizes, most slightly larger than a business card. The album has a presentation bookplate dated 1922 signed by local officials. Germany, during its near collapse after the First World War because of economic sanctions placed on them by the Treaty of Versailles, issued currency, often in very large denominations, due to severe inflation. Many of these examples have beautiful woodcuts, and all are in superb condition. A great collection to study and appreciate. Near Fine (Item ID: 014914)
