Germany, Westphalia 1/4 Millón Mark 1923 - NGC MS63

Germany. Westphalia. 1/4 Million Mark. 1923. - Value: 1/4 Million Mark. - Year: 1923. - Inscriptions: Obverse: FRH. WILH. V. FÜRST VON FÜRSTENBERG. Reverse: NOTGELD · PROVINZ WESTFALEN · 1/4 MILLION MK. · 1923. - Grade: MS63 (NGC). Quarter-million-Mark coin issued as Notgeld by the Prussian Province of Westphalia during the German hyperinflation of 1923. The obverse features the bust of Franz Wilhelm von Fürstenberg, a distinguished reformer, educator and statesman of Westphalia, surrounded by his name in Gothic lettering, in a restrained and carefully executed portrait. The reverse shows the prancing horse, traditional symbol of Westphalia, accompanied by the legend Notgeld, the province name, the face value of 1/4 Million Mark and the issue date. The design reflects the need to introduce ever-higher denominations as a consequence of the rapid devaluation of the German mark. The piece features well-defined relief, homogeneous surfaces and an attractive original satin sheen, with light contact marks consistent with the MS63 grade assigned by NGC. These emergency issues constitute a valuable numismatic testimony of the 1923 hyperinflation crisis, one of the most significant monetary episodes in Germany’s economic history. Disclaimer: For orders shipped outside the European Union, I want to be absolutely clear that I do ship from Spain, which means that if the package is sent to any country outside the European Union, and/or inside the EU that has a special tax agreement (example: Canary Islands), it might be stopped in your local customs and they might ask you to pay taxes. This is a customs legal procedure and it is completely out of our control. Thanks for your understanding.
