    I'll start this off with the above German 100 Mark denomination dating to 1908. I don't know who the centrally depicted woman is supposed to be, perhaps somebody can identify her?

    Let's see your currency bearing the likenesses of Greco-Roman kings and queens, gods and goddesses, warriors, chariots, ships, temples, et cetera.

    Probably Germania, an allegorical representation of the country which was quite popular in the years of the monarchy. As far as I know, the notes dated 7 Feb 1908 were produced about ten years later.
