Rarely listed WMG banknote, a high denomination early guilder issue.
A variant with an October issue date. Variant with numerator marked in 4.51 mm high font and initials of the AK printer (A. W. Kafemann, Danzig).
Banknote issued in a low mintage, limited to one series with six-digit numbering.
Additionally, without the Ungültig cancel stamp, which significantly increases the attractiveness of the offered piece.
Circulated, but still an above-average preserved piece. Broken vertically, minor scattered corns in the field. Folding and sagging within the corners.
Presentation very good.
Typologically a rare WMG item.
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.
