Got some new Notgeld coins

thanks for the info christian...I was wondering what he was...

and yeah brian...I decided that notgeld was going to be the only type of money I was going to try and gather a full set of...that is...every type...simply because its so interesting and althought there are thousands...there is a finite amount...although I know some are very rare and will be difficult to find.

Very interesting little piece of History. Thanks for sharing.

Last month, at local coin club meeting, a collector brought his recent purchase. A set of notgelds made of Aluminium foil. He mentioned that the set was issued for collectors only and that's why it survived after so many years.

And few months back another club member bought some notegelds made of leather. It had quite interesting design.

Have you ever seen a Notgeld banknote from Helgoland,which was prior to 1890,a British territory called Heligoland? I did have a 50 Pfennig dated 1919.

Here's an article; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helgoland .

A nice 10 Pf notgeld coin from Magdeburg I snagged on eBay...

 

Yes there were some notgeld pieces made of pressed paper or "cardboard" and one composition no one has mentioned is coal. There is a three piece set made from pressed powdered coal mixed with a binder.

 

Here's a batch of seven that just arrived...

My favorite

 

every single coin i saw was gorgeous but my favorite one was the first one

 

nice haul..I just purchased the top one on this page as well...

 

I like the Darmstadt ones,especially the 1919 10 Pfennig,which is interesting in the fact that it depicts a crowned Coat-of-Arms.

Kind of funny that it was precisely in this year 1917 that the grand duke of Hessen-Darmstadt had granted the city of D. the right to have that grand-ducal crown in its coat of arms. One year later all those kingdoms and duchies ceased to exist. The city still uses that CoA today.

The Catalogue of German War Tokens by Robert A. Lamb(1966) is a good start to the Municipal issues of 1914-21. Also Emergency Coins of Germany by Richard Upton has metal and porcelain issues from 1914-1923. Olmanjon

 

That is a decent catalog. I have it an use it though the prices are grossly out of date...
