Beautiful Danzig banknote with issue date 1937, which was in circulation for only two years because already in 1939 it was withdrawn from circulation and exchanged for German marks until 15.10.1939.
Excellent issue condition, appreciated with the second highest note in the PMG register.
Piece in full printing condition with beautifully preserved, vivid printing colors.
Today, banknotes from the WMG guilder issue are virtually without exception rare qualities. Although the 50 guilder denomination is a currency still available, in the presented note from PMG it is already a rare value.
The immense popularity enjoyed by the entire WMG issue is the result of the artistry of the graphic design and the fantastic printing quality of the English printer Bradbury, Wilkinson & Co. Ltd. for those times. For many collectors, the guilder issue, especially the late one, is considered the most beautiful for banknotes from the interwar period.
An item for the WMG banknote collection, whose primary criterion is the state of preservation.
The outbreak of World War I caused a shortage of small money. For this reason, between 1914 and 1918, the Magistrat Danzig issued banknotes ranging from 10 fenigs to 20 marks. The Free City of Danzig introduced inflationary mark banknotes (1919-23) and the more stable guilders (1923-1939). The guilder currency remained in effect until 1939, when Danzig was incorporated into Germany during World War II.
