<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1649311, member: 39&quot;]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: &quot;Uns haben harr längst Weltverkehr, wenn he en bitten natter wär&quot;. That is in a local Low German dialect and means something like &quot;We would already have world traffic here, if only it was a little wetter.&quot; The traffic refers to ships; Husum is close to the North Sea, but the port was (and is) not suitable for larger ships.</p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
