<p>[QUOTE=&quot;scottishmoney, post: 725484, member: 12789&quot;]Germany did not implement the &quot;Anschluss&quot; until 1938, this note was issued by the newly formed Republic of Austria in 1919-20.&nbsp; Notice on the bottom of the note that it still has the name of the Austro-Hungarian Bank in German and Hungarian - when the note was designed and printed the Empire had not yet splintered into several different countries.&nbsp; The <i>Deutschosterreich</i> overprint was applied by the Austrian state after the empire was dismembered - to specify that it circulated in the provisional Austrian state instead of the other separated out countries.&nbsp; Initially after WWI ended and before all was said and should have been finished, there was a lot of flux in opinion on what should happen with boundaries etc.&nbsp; It wasn&#039;t &quot;settled&quot; until 1919, but we all know from our history that it really did not get settled until much later, with more war and misery to follow.</p><p><br /></p><p>I think I see a small F on the 20 Mark note issued by the AMG, it is in the lower right hand corner near the numeric denomination.</p><p><br /></p><p>The AMG&#039;s and the Rentenmarks and Reichsmarks circulated until the revaluation of the German Mark at 10:1 in 1948.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
