Beautiful Danzig banknote with issue date 1931 in maintained design from earlier years (1924), which was in circulation for only two years as it was withdrawn from circulation already in 1933.
The height of the digits in the numerator is 3.38mm.
Excellent, issue condition, appreciated by the second highest note in the PMG register.
Pieces in full printing freshness with beautifully preserved, vivid printing colors.
Today, banknotes from the WMG guilder issue are virtually without exception rare qualities. Although the 100 guilder denomination is a value still available, it is already a rare value in the presented note from PMG. It should be noted that only one piece was graded higher.
The huge demand enjoyed by these bills issued by the WMG is a result of the artistry of the graphic design and the fantastic printing quality of the English printer Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. for the time. For many collectors, the guilder issue, especially the late one, is considered the most beautiful for banknotes from the interwar period.
An item for the WMG banknote collection, whose primary criterion is the state of preservation.
The outbreak of World War I caused a shortage of small money. For this reason, between 1914 and 1918, the Magistrat Danzig issued banknotes ranging from 10 fenigs to 20 marks. The Free City of Danzig introduced inflationary mark banknotes (1919-23) and the more stable guilders (1923-1939). The guilder currency remained in effect until 1939, when Danzig was incorporated into Germany during World War II.
