GERMANY:WW1 & POSTWAR "OCCUPATION MONEY" ("NOTGELD"?)

Description: WHEN WE DISCOVERED GRAND-UNCLE THOMAS'S CACHE OF SOUVENIRS GATHERED DURING HIS STINT IN THE AEF, THESE THREE NOTES SLIPPED OUT OF ONE OF HIS BOOKS -- CURRENCY THAT WAS LEFT OVER FROM BEING STATIONED IN COBLENZ AS PART OF THE POSTWAR ALLIED OCCUPATION FORCE !! THE COIN WAS WITH HIS OTHER STUFF, WHICH INCLUDED A FEW MEDALS FROM BOTH SIDES..... IT SEEMS THAT SOME OF THIS TYPE OF CURRENCY COULD BE DESCRIBED AS "NOTGELD", EMERGENCY MONEY ISSUED BY GERMAN LOCALITIES LATE IN THE WAR & IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS -- ALSO USED BY THE OCCUPYING SOLDIERS LIKE OUR UNCLE. IT SEEMS THAT A PFENNIG WENT "PFARTHER" IN THOSE DAYS !! OUR COLLECTION IS AS FOLLOWS: 1. 50 PFENNIG NOTE: ISSUED IN 7/1918 BY THE CITY OF TRIER; 2. 1 MARK NOTE: ISSUED IN 8/1914 BY THE CITY OF BERLIN -- THIS MAY BE A MORE OFFICIALLY-SANCTIONED NOTE, KNOWN AS "REICHSSCHULDENVERWAFFUNG"; 3. 50 PFENNIG NOTE: ISSUED BY STADT COBLENZ IN 1/1919 -- RARE & IN VIBRANT COLOUR; 4. 25 PFENNIG COIN: ISSUED BY STADT COBLENZ IN 1918 AS "KRIEGSGELD";5.
