This specimen was lot 75148 in Stack's Bowers Collectors Choice Online Auction (Costa Mesa, CA, February 2025), where it sold for $3,360. The catalog description[1] noted, "GERMANY. Weimar Republic. "Province of Westphalia". Tombac Billion Mark Notgeld, 1923. PCGS MS-65. Fairly RARE and enchanting, with a pleasing matte nature throughout." This is the highest denomination of a series of 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. The German billion equals an American trillion.
Recorded mintage: 11,113 in nickel brass plus 100 in brass (shown here).
Specification: 83.9 g, nickel brass, 60 mm diameter, or "Tombac" (brass).
Catalog reference: Funck-645.15B.
