1,000 Kronen (crowns), Austro-Hungarian Empire

The back is in Hungarian language, and it circulated in all countries of the Empire (current Austria, Hungary, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia, Slovenia and North of Italy) until 1918. After the end of WWI it continued to circulate in Austria and Hungary with overprints, until 1921.

Grade: VG

100 Pesos, Argentina

The date of the bill of issue is 1935, but it was actually issued in 1943-1957. The man in the portrait is General san Martin. , on back Spanish and Indians.

Grade: VF

50....

It's a German Notgeld, face value 50 pfennig (cents). It was valid only for a limited time, since September 9, 1921, to March 31, 1922. After this date it lost its value.

Grade: AU

25 and 50 pesetas, Spain

About date, is the same than Argentinian note, they are actually issued in 1936.

25 pesetas shows Pedro Calderon de la Barca, on back religious comedy scene.
50 pesetas shows Diego Velazquez, on back La redencion de Breda by Velazquez.

Grade: XF (or, maybe, AU) for 25 pesetas, VF for 50 pesetas.

Value:

All notes are common. I don't know which could be their price in US, but in Italy, where I am, I pay these notes, in this grade, € 0.50-1.00 each ($ 0.80-1.30).

I hope you didn't pay much more, in this case is a good deal

petronius :smile

 

I correct myself about value of 25 pesetas. In XF-AU grade, value could be $ 8-10.

That 50 pfennig notgeld issue is from Husum, today in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. The man depicted in the circle is Emanuel Gurlitt who was the mayor of Husum for many years in the late 19c. The motto around the circle is something that Gurlitt said: "Uns haben harr längst Weltverkehr, wenn he en bitten natter wär". That is in a local Low German dialect and means something like "We would already have world traffic here, if only it was a little wetter." The traffic refers to ships; Husum is close to the North Sea, but the port was (and is) not suitable for larger ships.

Not new acquisitions as such just returned from PMG

Nice Mexico note and it is a RADAR

 

Nice notes but Mexico is NOT a RADAR. Sorry.

 

Is it conventional to date notes by the last date of issue, that purple 10/- was first issued in 1941 as a wartime measure, the colour reverted to brown after 48.

 

Oooops, Jim Hatch is right; copied wrong one, now let me see

 

Been looking for one of these for a while:

Nice little note from Brazil:


Of course you gotta love this one: a Roman number radar

 

This little German notgeld is one of the top ten notes in my collection. It's not rare. The adventures of the World War One German cruiser Emden and her crew are better than any fiction. I recommend The Last Cruise of the Emden.

 

I like that Aztec RADAR!!! Very nice!

 

Fairly new:



sent this one to be graded:

 

Got these at a coin show today, a few currency dealers there also

 

More coin show finds:




Nice repeater note from Nepal



Nice Iceland note: the reverse is noteworthy for sure:
Obverse:

Reverse:

 

Hey Les, I don't see the glacial flow of sheep on the reverse of the Iceland note? Looks like Hungary got in the way.

 

Let's try again with the Iceland. As Jim pointed out the "avalanche" of sheep from the reverse is the real highlight:


And the Obverse again:

 

And while I'm at it let me fix the Hungary 20 Forint. Must have been a long day.
Hungary obverse:

Hungary reverse again:

 

Les, thanks for fixing it. I like the back of that Iceland note and I am sure some others would like to see it as well.

 

Here's a nice little note:
Price was great ( 0 )

This one I found on eBay, a replacement note:

 

Techwriter - Thanks for the recommendation of The Last Cruise of the Emden - Got the notgeld issue just when I got to the middle of the book - It's a great story so far, and I'm enjoying both the book and the banknote. It's a curious thing to hold the note and read the book together. Makes one think about the time right after WWI and all that happened to the crew of the Emden, as well as everyone else. I really like combining the history with banknotes - so thanks again! Now off to finish the book!

btw - here's my newest add:
