The notgeld issues of 1914 & 1915 tend to be quite drab and plain, compared to notgeld from the other categories. Usually they have a hand-written signature (or one made from a rubberised stamp) and an official stamp on them, usually the authority behind the note. Quite often, issues consisted of a 50pf note and a 1, 2 3m piece. The notes would usually be of a similar design but would probably be in different coloured texts.

In 1914, little attention was made to the notgeld issues (by collectors) as most Germans had more pressing matters on their minds! The first emergency money appeared on July 31, 1914 and was issued by the 'Buergliches Braihaus G.m.b.H.' in Bremen. Pieces had a face value of 1, 2 and 2.4m.

In 1914, 452 localities issued 5,500 notes. Today, these early notgeld issues are highly collected by notgeld enthusiasts and can fetch some very high prices, depending on scarcity and condition. If you come across 1914/1915 issues, I suggest to add them to your collection and replace them if a better specimen comes your way. You can always contact me with any duplicates you have for sale.
