Reason
High quality, high EV (presented as a complete set).
Inflation in Danzig during parts of 1922–23 had reached 2,440% (per month) and the denominations printed in papiermark had spiraled out of control. In 1923, the Free City of Danzig abandoned the German papiermark in favor of the Danzig gulden. Initially introduced under the Central Finance Department on 22 October 1923, the issuance of the new gulden was overseen by the Bank of Danzig, established in early 1924.
Original
A complete denomination set of seven Bank of Danzig gulden banknotes (1924–38). Each note contains the city's coat of arms (obverse, left) and an important local architectural structure (center).

PS: Nobel laureate Günter Grass, born in Danzig in 1927, would have been familiar with this currency. Sca (talk) 22:05, 17 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
