Excellent condition and an interesting, rarer piece of history!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNotgeld was a form of emergency currency that was issued by individual German municipalities or institutions immediately after the First World War when Germany was experiencing a severe economic depression. Most notgeld contained an expiry date, after which the note was deemed invalid. The issued notes of individual municipalities and institutions pulled power from the national Reichsbank and helped to counter currency shortages from the war. Printed using recycled materials, these notes became a popular collector's item because of their attractive colors and designs, leading to the overprinting of notes and eventually hyperinflation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThanks for stopping by!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1918 Crefeld Germany 10 Mark Notgeld - Rarer Overstamp \"Entwertet\" Type - High Denomination - 1918 German Municipality Ten Marks Note\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Treasure Hunter Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53302781280553,"sku":"GMY-10M-1918-Crefeld","price":13.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0793\/1540\/3049\/files\/CLOE629-62.png?v=1782921045","url":"https:\/\/treasurehunterco.com\/th\/products\/1918-rottenburg-germany-50-pfennig-notgeld-wwi-german-emergency-currency-1918-german-municipality-fifty-pfennig-note-copy","provider":"Treasure Hunter Co","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
