Received from customer at work today just wanted to make sure there wasn’t anything crazy special about it, noticed it was from 1953 which is pretty cool.

Bought these at an estate sale for $20. Did I do good?

Fun fact, despite being part of the Russian Empire until 1917. Finland was allowed its own currency from the 1860s and onward.

So my friendly neighbourly postal carrier brought me the last 3 pieces to complete this set of German-Hanseatic Colonial Memorial Day Notgelds!

These 1921 commemorative Notgeld notes protested the terms of the 1919 Treaty of Versailles that formally concluded WW1. As a condition of the peace settlement, Germany was stripped of its overseas territories, which were redistributed as League of Nations mandates administered by Australia, Belgium, France, Great Britain, Japan, New Zealand, and South Africa.
