Paper token in the value of 1 Mark (Reichsmark), from Auschwitz extermination camp. Issued in August 1944.
Printed on the front of the token is the inscription "Prämienschein über RM 1 / Konzentrationslager Auschwitz".
Such paper tokens were issued in Auschwitz as "bonuses" or work incentives. Zvi Stahl writes in his book "Jewish Ghettos' and Concentration Camps' Money" that "these means of payment, in denominations of 1/2 and 1 Mark, were given only to chosen inmates of Auschwitz and generally to non-Jewish prisoners. There is evidence that… Jewish prisoners were privileged to benefit from these 'valuable' paper tokens as well. […] During conversations with Auschwitz survivors, to my surprise, I discovered that most inmates never laid their eyes on such tokens. They were surprised to hear that such means of payment even existed". Stahl also mentions that in the book "Man's Search for Meaning", Viktor Frankl tells of a 1 Mark token that he received in the Auschwitz Extermination Camp and notes that such tokens could be exchanged for a dozen cigarettes and the dozen cigarettes could be exchanged for a dozen portions of soup. These tokens are very rare. [See: Zvi Stahl, Jewish Ghettos' and Concentration Camps' Money (1933-1945), London-Holon 1990, pp. 52-56].

"Agudat Not'im" was a privately owned Zionist society that aimed to promote settlement in Palestine. The society was founded in 1905 by Aharon Eisenberg, Haim Michel Michlin and Yitzchak Levi. It's plan was to prepare the land for Aliya and to establish settlements on a solid financial basis with orchards and fruit-bearing fields enabling the newcomers to be established as soon as possible. In April 1910 the society registered as an official Ottoman company based in Constantinople, and was the first Zionist society to be registered by the Ottoman authorities.
