"Emergency Money" and German Anti-Semitic "Notes"

10 Notes of "Emergency Money" (Notgeld). Germany and Austria, 1920-1922.
Printed during the inflation following World War I, when there was a shortage of monetary notes and coins. All are illustrated, with anti-Semitic images or captions. Among them, three notes printed in Sternberg in 1922 commemorating 430 years since a number of Jews were accused of making Matzot using blood of a Christian child in Sternberg in 1492. Size varies, very good condition.
