1 Mark Notgeld-Ausstellung

Nuremberg's 1921 Notgeld exhibition was one of several collector-oriented events that emerged as municipalities realized souvenir notgeld had become a marketable commodity in its own right. By 1921, the practical emergency currency phase was effectively over; what remained was a thriving secondary market driven by philatelists and collectors, not cashiers. This note was issued for that exhibition specifically — not for wage payments or retail change.

E. Nister was a well-established Nuremberg printer with a long background in chromolithography and illustrated books, which partly explains why exhibition-series notgeld from this city tends toward higher print quality than municipal emergency issues from elsewhere in Bavaria.
