The catalog description&lt;sup&gt;[1]&lt;/sup&gt; noted, &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;''STAATLICHE NOTMÜNZEN, WESTFALEN 5 Mark 1921. Tombak. Freiherr vom Stein. R Vorzüglich-Stempelglanz.'' ([[German notgeld|state notgeld]], Westphalia, five mark of 1921, brass, featuring lord vom Stein. Rare, extremely fine to uncirculated.)&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt; This is one of an extensive series of [[German notgeld|notgeld]] issued by the ''Landesbank der Provinz Westfalen'' in 1921-23 in denominations ranging from 5 mark to one trillion mark. We doubt they were intended to circulate, as they are never found worn. This denomination was also struck in aluminum (Funck 599.3) and is much more common thus.<br /> <br /> ''Recorded mintage'': 4,035.<br /> <br /> ''Specifications'': brass, 38 mm diameter.<br /> <br /> ''Catalog reference:'' Funck 599.4, J.
