ON OFFER:
A superb example of a Prussian State loan bond for 100 Reichsmarks from the Third Reich era. Measures approx 8.25"x11.75", intact seal. Lithograph by the State Printing Office in Berlin in brown, black, blues and reds.
On these bonds the Nazi era Reichsadler seal of the Prussian State Debt Administration has not been cancelled, as shown above. Cancel errors such as this are limited, as the German government has been very attentive to voiding Third Reich swastika seals.
Authentic historical artifacts documenting turbulent times. The
last 270
remaining examples of these canceled VF+ certificates from the vaults of the former Reichsbank in Berlin were auctioned off by the German Federal Office for Central Services and Unresolved Property Issues (BADV) in 2015. In the sales literature, it was announced that the auction would be the BADV’s final sale of pre-1945 German government bonds.
Once the largest kingdom in the German Empire, following WWI and the Revolution, Prussia became the largest of the Federal States of the Weimar Republic. Although the revolution had stripped away many of the powers formerly reserved to the states under the Empire, they retained much of their domestic autonomy under the new Republic. Under the Nazi dictatorship its Minister President was the portly Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring.
After WWII, the state of Prussia was consigned to the dust heap of history, absorbed as it was, into the Soviet Union, Poland, the German Democratic Republic, and the Federal Republic of Germany.
Appealing to scripophily collectors, history buffs, and educators alike, they make for an interesting addition to
Second World War collections.
