Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set).
Inflation in Danzig during parts of 1922–23 had reached 2,440% (per month) and the denominations printed in papiermark had spiraled out of control. In 1923, the Free City of Danzig abandoned the German papiermark in favor of the Danzig gulden. Initially introduced under the Central Finance Department on 22 October 1923, the issuance of the new gulden was overseen by the Bank of Danzig, established in early 1924.
Original
A complete denomination set of seven Bank of Danzig gulden banknotes (1924–38). Each note contains the city's coat of arms (obverse, left) and an important local architectural structure (center).

  • Strong support – High historical EV for the Free City of Danzig (Freie Stadt Danzig), a so-called city-state created by the victorious Allies via the Treaty of Versailles (Articles 100–104) after World War I. The Baltic port of Danzig, 96 percent German in population, and an adjacent area of villages and farmland was detached from Germany and made independent under nominal supervision of the League of Nations. These beautifully designed, colorful banknotes depict structures from the old Hanseatic city – many of which have been restored or rebuilt in today's Polish city of Gdańsk. – Sca (talk)
PS: Nobel laureate Günter Grass, born in Danzig in 1927, would have been familiar with this currency. Sca (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
