[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 3556402, member: 39"]Not really. ;) I could tell how things worked with the Deutsche Mark notes issued by the central bank of our country (Deutsche Bundesbank), but that note is a little older, hehe. At that time, there was no "Germany" except for a loose union called Deutscher Bund which did not have a central bank. So the single countries issued their own notes, or authorized private and semi-private banks to issue them. In the mid-1860 there were almost 60 paper money issuers in the Deutscher Bund, and Lübeck was a country, later a state, of its own until the mid-1930s. (This "Commerz-Bank in Lübeck", by the way, has nothing to do with the later and today's Commerzbank.) To make a potentially long story :) short: My guess is that the date was used for a certain series and will thus not be a precise issue date. Christian[/QUOTE]
