EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a five mark banknote from 1917, both front and back. Measuring at 8x12.5 cm, this colour lithograph is a remarkable piece of German history. The banknote features intricate details that tell the story of its time. On the recto side, we see the face of a female figure representing abundance and wealth. Her serene expression exudes confidence in the financial system she represents. Above her head, an eagle soars majestically, symbolizing strength and power. Flipping to the verso side reveals more fascinating elements. The bill proudly displays the denomination "fuenf marks" in bold letters, emphasizing its value as currency during that era. A goddess named Ceres graces this side with her presence; she is known as the Roman deity of agriculture and fertility. Every detail on this banknote reflects Germany's rich economic heritage. From the meticulously designed markings to references like "deutsche marks" it serves as a testament to their monetary legacy. Preserved in a private collection today, this print offers us a glimpse into an important chapter in German finance history. It reminds us of how money can be not just functional but also artistic expressions of culture and identity.
