History

With the war steadily grinding on in Europe the value of metals soared as they were required for the building of weapons, vehicles and other supplies. Metals became far more valuable than paper and as a result a large number of banking institutions made the switch to the cheaper format.

It really was the first signs of the onset of hyperinflation and although it would take a further six years to peak and collapse the economy the writing was on the wall.

The banknotes did however offer a huge chance for a wealth of art work designs and it was not long before colorful and even masterful designs were being issued all over Germany. The nature of the art work, the beautiful imagery and the historical content, social and religious proverbs, that were often placed upon them soon made them forever popular amongst collectors both in Germany and overseas.
