1922 German Emergency 100 Marks in Leather
Tax included.
Post World War I Germany was economically strained. So much so that it is a period studied to learn about the causes and effects of hyper inflation.
This banknote whilst not hyperinflationary, is an example of the resourcefulness demonstrated by a town with a significant leather output. When faced with a currency shortage the town of Osterwieck elected to produce their very own banknotes made of leather.
The notes remain quite well preserved and the colours are still quite vibrant.
