Post your Emergency Issue coins and notes

After noticing that many German regions had their own emergency issue coinage in the 1917s and 1918s, I decided to peruse eBay to see if the city that I currently live in ever had any emergency issue coinage. Turns out it does!

This is from Rottenburg am Neckar was once a much more influential city in Germany, with its own diocese. To this day, it still serves approximately 37% of the catholics in the region.

Feel free to post your emergency issue coins and notes as well!

I think I may have a couple stashed in a box somewhere. Will have to check when I get home from work.

These are cool!

I'm a big fan of the German notgeld. I probably have about 20 of them but I don't have pictures of most. Here's what I do have pictures of. Also, I have a siege coin from Anvers (I believe it's Antwerp). You can't see a lot of detail unfortunately.

 

I also have a decent collection of paper notgeld notes, but this is the only one I have a picture of. I was really excited to find this because it shows the sport of harness racing, which is a rather obscure type of horse racing that my family is involved in.

Very cool and thank you for postin the link so I didn’t have to google it. I hadn’t put a lot of thought into sieges and that they would need to create emergency money, but it makes perfect sense!

Well, luckily, there are more than just Germany emergency issues

Currently involved in or historically?

I 100% agree that a true overstrike on a contemporary counterfeit is even more cool. Great sleuth work and great write up!

 

My great-grandfather, grandfather, great uncle, father, two uncles, two cousins and several other more distant family members are or were involved with harness racing, either professionally or at the county fairs in Wisconsin.

Oh, and I also have a WWI-era notgeld type coin from France too but don't have the image right now. I've also seen them from Tunisia I believe.
