XXX-RARE COMPLETE SET of 1922 JEWISH TRADE MONEY w STAR of DAVID! READ HISTORY

Before antisemitism became state policy in Germany, Jewish business people controlled wide swaths of the economy. This very rare Notgeld set richly illustrates this fact, particularly with regard to the hospitality industry in Bremen. Issued in conjunction with an expo held by and for the Bremen hospitality trade organization, wholly controlled by Jews, this currency was available for all of 10 days in 1922 which places it among the rarest of all German Notgeld issues. You will receive the complete, original set of 3 banknotes - 1, 2 and 3 Marks!

The fronts, each in a different color combination, show a female chef carrying a tray of delectable foods, flanked by an endless array of further culinary creations. She is framed by a giant Star of David! The back of the 1 Mark note displays a 3-stack ocean liner, a cornerstone of Bremen's maritime economy - no doubt fully stocked with goods marketed by members of the aforesaid trade group. The back of the 2 Mark note shows an elegant banquet being attended by the manufacturers, restaurateurs and hoteliers belonging to the organization. The back of the 3 Mark note shows each members' coat of arms, many dating back centuries which shows how vital a role Jews played in German commerce.

It has become difficult to find even a single note from this set. Here is a seldom offered opportunity to acquire all 3! The only complete set we have.... All notes have full margins (some were cut off by scanner).
