Steve Album Auction 52, lot 2608

This specimen was lot 2608 in Steve Album Auction 52 (Santa Rosa, CA, May 2025), where it sold for $102. The catalog description[1] noted, "WESTPHALIA: Weimar Republic, 10,000 mark, 1923, with original box of issue, gilt notgeld, the Saxon Steed from the Province of Westphalia // Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein portrait, a wonderful quality example! PCGS graded MS64." This is from a series of notgeld tokens issued in 1923, including fifty, 100, 500, 10,000, ¼ million, 2 million, 5 million and 50 million mark. We doubt they were intended to circulate, as they are never found worn.

Specification: 31.7 g, gilt brass, 44.1 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: Funck 645.7, J-N20a.
