Original

A complete set (6) of the last issue of German papiermark from the Free City of Danzig. Dated 8 August 1923 through 11 October 1923, the series was issued during the height of Danzig hyperinflation and denominations range from 1 million to 10 billion mark. (For comparison, the initial 1914 issue nine years earlier contained a 50 pfennig, and 1, 2, and 3 mark notes). Single-sided images means there was no printing on the back.
