Banknotes from the beginning of the Weimar Republic, various values. Some of them with the Coat of the Arms of the Reich. During those years, the inflation in Germany reached a peak. The German Bank printed money regardless of the value of the German Mark in relation to the value of gold and banknotes were also printed independently in many printing houses around Germany, for example by the Daimler Corporation, the manufacturer of the Mercedes car. The flooding of the market with printed money lowered its value drastically so that by 1923, one dollar was worth more than four milliard Marks.
On two of the banknotes the name of the illustrator, Paul Weber, a famous German artist, appears. Weber, who illustrated the book "The Surprising Adventures of Baron Munchausen", joined in 1928 a group that opposed Hitler and after the rise of the Nazis, was persecuted by them.
Condition: Very Good.
