1920 Germany 1 Ocher Grosche-Need Some Help

I see that not much gets attention on the world coin thread so I thought maybe someone passing through could help me on this. What research I've done suggests this is of German origin but I cannot find it in my Krause catalog and it does not show up under Austria either. Does anyone know which page I should be looking for? Or a Krause # or if I even have the right country? Thanks in advance. Tom

Thanks very much, spot on perfect and I followed to the second link. I sure hope I do not run into a lot of these. Issued in 1700 diff. cities and 4,500 diff. varieties. Good Lord. This is a specialty nook for sure.

 

I got a chuckle out of that too. Try putting a full set of one of those together lol. Historically speaking it is a very interesting piece

 

Here is the Numista info. If it could help a bit more

Look at the comments. There is a reference to a CoinTalk thread!

 

Right, but that thread was in World Coins.

Yikes! Had me going for a moment. "Head Scarf Not Touching the Rim" Rare. But mine is touching so I guess I'll go with Funck # 1.5. Thank you so very much. Both of you have been a big help.

 

Cool coin! I'm moving to Germany and almost tempted to try to collect Notgeld but I don't know if I can bring myself to spend my monthly budget on it. I might just keep working on my world coins and hold out for a Taler.

 

The bad thing about notgeld is that there is a plethora of coins and paper money to collect. The nice thing about it, well, you will never ever be "complete", so just pick what you like.

I think that 1700 locations and 4500 varieties includes private issues, porcelain issues, transportation issues, and some of the other "novelty" type issues, and the 4500 includes die varieties. I collect the municipal issues and I don't collect them by die variety. I know of about about 640 issuing municipalities (local government issues) and probably around 2400 - 2500 different types. I currently have about 620 municipalities and over 2000 types.

You want a REAL never ending collection go with the paper notgeld. The standard reference is something like 26 volumes, And the largest collections I have heard of (which are NOT complete) run over 200,000 different pieces.

 

The paper notes are undoubtedly the most colorful paper ever issued, but I find the porcelain 'coins' and the leather 'notes' interesting.
