All new notes (except the 1 million RM I posted in my previous post) are uniface.
The lowest values come without serial number or letter. Higher values get a serie letter and the highest denominations get get both.
This 4th series start with a 100,000 RM note. There is a version with watermark E (green paper) and one with watermark J (white paper).
Pick 91b (WM J) |
The design is kept very simple but the red colour of the printing is rather special.
The 1 million RM note, Pick 93 was already in my previous post. Yet another 1 million RM note was issued in this series. I guess Pick 93 was already printed, before the need of more and less complicated banknotes came to the printing of the new note.
Pick 94 - but differnt from the catalogue |
In the picture below, two notes, above is a copy from the catalogue (black/white pic), below is my note.
Pick 94 German Empire - two versions? |
The regular serial number, reads from left to right, if you turn the note clockwise.
My note has a larger serial number, with serial letter, but reads from left to right if the note is turned counter-clockwise!
Both notes have the yellowish underprint, but this is not visible on the picture I took from the catalogue.
In July 1923, also a 5 million, a10 million and a 20 million note are printed in the same style.
This 4th set ends with a 50 million RM note.
Pick 98 German Empire |
Pick 94 and 98 watermarks |
