Additional information

Menden's 2 Millionen Mark notgeld patterns in gold are among the more puzzling artifacts of the 1923 inflation emergency — struck as presentation or proof-of-concept pieces at a moment when municipal authorities across Germany were scrambling to issue emergency currency of any kind. Whether this piece ever had serious intent as a circulating substitute or was always destined for collectors and civic officials is unresolved. Funck 639.2 distinguishes it from the related type by a specific die characteristic.
