Itzehoe – ‘bleeding eye’!!

Description

Itzehoe 1 million mark notgeld banknote depicting the ‘bleeding eye’ Dating from 1923, the piece is in ‘used’ condition – please see scan. This example has a ‘0’ as its first part of the serial number. The depiction is extremely artistic in value with the ‘all seeing but bleeding eye’ at its central design, along with the ‘suffering people’ depicted at the bottom of the note, frantically prayer and kneeling and kowtowing to God………with some possibly trying to escape God’s wrath. I believe it symbolises the suffering of the German People, at the time when the whole monetary system was failing and also that the hyperinflation might be God’s punishment. Perhaps the weeping All-Seeing Eye is God repenting that He ever made mankind as they have brought themselves to such a state by their evil.  A very nice and interesting piece of hyper-inflationary notgeld, designed by the famous artist, Wenzel Hablik, for your banknote / notgeld collection!!
