FREE SHIPPING WITHIN THE U.S. FOR THIS ITEM. Post-WW1 German “hardship years” era large 5 Million Marks notgeld coin issued by Westphalia state in 1923. “Notgeld” literally means “emergency money”; many German states and cities had to issue this type of large-denomination substitute “coins” and paper notgeld bills to compensate for the shortage of regular coins and banknotes during post-WW1 hyper-inflation years.  The National Bank simply could not print the sufficient amount of currency fast enough. This is a very attractive specimen in rare Brilliant Uncirculated condition; a couple of minor spots are noted for accuracy. Most of the original mint luster is intact; the coin is about 44.6 mm in diameter; about 32.2 grams; plain rim; this is the more desirable gilt bronze alloy type. ​Very attractive specimen with original “honey gold” luster throughout. This ever-popular Germany Westphalia 1923 5 Million Marks notgeld coin type is the only sure way to become a millionaire overnight – don’t miss your chance!  The coin has not been cleaned or tampered with in any way; these are the actual photos.  See our European Coins section for the additional German coins, tokens and medals.
