Burghausen 50pf – SPECIMEN!

Description

Burghausen 50pf scarce SPECIMEN / MUSTER piece!! The note, which is in ‘au-unc’ condition has a red stamped ‘Ungiltig’ (cancelled) on it where the serial number is usually located. This is a ‘true’ specimen or ‘MUSTER’ piece of German verkehrsausgaben notgeld, dating from 1918!! Hard to come by pieces, these SPECIMEN types are a great addition for anyone’s notgeld and banknote collection. This note is not simply missing its serial number ……which could have happened if 2 notes went through the numerator machine together…….but is a true SPECIMEN piece, issued probably for specific dignatories from the town as a souvenir of the issue ….. and possibly a few special collectors! The ‘Ungiltig’ stamp mark, stopped a serial number being added at a later date and the note entering into circulation. This is a highly collectable item!!
