| Opmerkingen |
The Bank von Danzig was the central bank of the Free City of Danzig, the unusual semi-autonomous territory created under League of Nations supervision by the Treaty of Versailles. Its currency had to remain credible in a city economically dependent on trade through the port yet politically isolated from both Germany and Poland — a difficult monetary balancing act that made the choice of Bradbury Wilkinson entirely sensible. The London firm's reputation for security printing carried weight with a public that had lived through the catastrophic German hyperinflation less than a decade earlier.
The 1931 date places this note squarely in the Depression years, when the Free City's economy was under severe strain and confidence in local institutions fragile.
