1916 German Note Found In Book

After @expat post I felt inclined to post this banknote I found in this book. The book is dated 1857 but I do not read German so am clueless as to what I have in the book. I was pleased to see the prices that go with this note on EBAY. The back of the book reads "Jugendschrifien" along with the date "1857" and has a crest with an eagle. The binding has what appears to be "Pauline Schanz, Maddien-Schidtale"? Not sure all the spelling is correct. These notes also appear hard to find without stains. The book was recovered at my local landfill shed. Not bad for free. If anyone can help on the book, it would be appreciated.

Here's a link to a copy for sale. The listing is still in German, but at least it's in modern letters rather than Fraktur.

The first side means that the German official has been paid his dues. The second side states that whomever redeems this note will receive the stated value. It also states that anyone faking these notes will, if caught, be imprisoned for not less than two years. The book iis a childs book but my Wife in unsure whether the note came with the purchase of the book or was used as a bookmark

 

Thank you so much for this. I'm sure the note likely was a bookmark.

 

Wow! The book is $15.00 and shipping $50.00. Thanks for the link. I think I'll keep the book.

 

The note is One Rupee, German East Africa., worth more than a few cents.

 

neat find

 

I’m afraid I can’t help you with this other that to say it’s an over due notice from the library.

I just couldn’t help myself Tommy.
