Denmark - 25 Ore currency note of the Danish Brigade ("Den Danske Brigade") in Germany, 1947-58 (P.M9). EF with a light crease in the middle. Nice, low serial number. The Danish Brigade was a post-World War II occupation force, which served in Germany from 1947 to 1958. Initially numbering 4,000 men, it was stationed in Oldenburg in 1947, under British command. The force later moved to Itzehoe in 1949, numbering around 2,000 men and was eventually re-titled The Danish Command in Germany ("Den Danske Kommando i Tyskland") until 1958, when it was recalled to Denmark.

(Ottoman) Palestine - Tel Aviv municipality 1 Bishlik, 1914. This rare paper token was one of a series of emergency notes issued by the 5-year old Tel Aviv city council during the Summer and Fall of 1914, with the outbreak of World War I. Trade in Eretz Israel ground to a standstill, with most of her trade sources now being declared "enemies" by the Turks. The banks in the Holy Land now closed as well, as most were connected in some way with Turkey's new foes. The Ottoman Empire also imposed a heavy "emergency tax" on the Tel Aviv-Jaffo residents, which further worsened their economic situation. In response to the lack of circulating currency, the Tel Aviv council issued these tokens. One Bishlik was worth 1/2 a German Frank (or 2 and 1/2 Turkish Piastres, or 100 Turkish Para). Series "H" issue, in F-VF condition with a fold in the center.

Unsual countersigned Palestine Templars Bank cheque, 1938-39: a post-dated bankdraft written in Palestine but belonging to the German optics firm of Zeiss Ikon written on 29 June 1938, for payment to P. Pr. Kunzler & Co. on 15 January 1939 for a contract (from the date the cheque was written), and approved by Zeiss Ikon on 28 Dec. 1938 (in Dresden) and guaranteed by them in a typewritten attachment the same day, along with a Reichsbank-Dresden serial number counterstamp, deposited by J. Raises of Ramat Gan in Palestine for the sum of 25 Palestine Pounds. The cheque was deposited with the Bank of the Temple Society (the Templars Bank) with the local Barclays Bank handling the processing of the money in Palestine (17 Jan. 1939) - accepted for payment by them in February that year and finally settled completely on 30 March. Franked with two Palestine Mandate tax stamps with the original date of the check handwritten over them (i.e. the check originated in Palestine).
The Bank of the Temple Society was founded in Jaffa, Palestine in 1925 as a credit institution associated with the German Temple Society (Tempelgesellschaft) and their colonies in Palestine; the Templers are a Christian sect who see in Jesus an example to follow but not the son of G-d. The bank had branches in Haifa and Jerusalem and was at that time one of the leading credit institutions in Palestine. What makes this check interesting is its timeline as related to events in the Templer community in Palestine in 1938-1939: being of German roots the Templer colonies identified themselves with the Nazi regime of the Third Reich, with national-socialist oriented youth movements and male enlistment in the German Army. The once friendly Jewish community in Palestine (the "Yishuv") turned away from these colonies during the 1930's and in 1939 the British Mandatory authorites interned many of the Templers, deporting some of them to Australia and turning many of their Palestine colonies into internment camps. The cheque does not give any suggestion that either the bearer J. Raises or the firm Kunzler is Jewish (i.e. that one of them is being banished, having funds frozen or disposessed, etc.), and no text is in Hebrew, so it seems this payment may have been a regular day-to-day example of banking within the system of the immediate pre-war Templer German-British network. Interesting and scarce.

Israeli Tel-Aviv municipality ("Va'ad Tel Aviv") 100 Mil note, 1948. Paper currency issued by the Tel Aviv municipality in September 1948 as a means of payment to its suppliers and as a form of tax payment vouchers in return. These notes were produced at the same time as the wartime transitional government issued red and green "carpet notes", also in 50 and 100-mils denominations. However, though the carpet notes are rare, the Va'ad Tel Aviv notes are even less well known. The remarkable thing about these notes is that their Hebrew date is "5708" (or 1948 - 'Tashach') even though they were produced right around the time of the Jewish new year, which would have necessitated that they be dated "5709" for 1949. This piece is in EF condition some aging color on the base and two small spots of water wear on the left and right side edges. A lovely piece.

Set of 3 "Japanese invasion money" (JIM) currency notes: three 5-Peso notes issued by the Japanese occupation authorities for the Philippines and counterstamped variously by the Japanese. All three bear a stamp of the "Office of the District Chief" (Bagumpanahon) in Manila, in English and Japanese on the obverse. One bears the stamp "Military Administration Office Financial Department Imperial Japanese Army" on the reverse; another bears two lines of Japanese text on the obverse (there's a small worm hole the size of a pin hole); and the third bears Japanese text in a red box on the obverse and a character over the "5" numeral. All are in F-VF. These are less common than similar issues with post-war counterstamps attesting to their collection and removal by post-war governments.

Two Vietnamese currency notes: one South Vietnamese 5-Dong note, 1955, in UNC (crisp but small light blue and rose dots visible - may be part of the security features); and one North Vietnamese 1-Dong note, 1958 in VF (there are surface wear points on the lower obverse; in the photo, the light area on the upper obverse is flash reflection off the crystal slider). The North Vietnamese note may actually be a clipped off American propaganda counterfeit from the late 1960s: it bears an identical serial number to such a counterfeit that I saw, and the note also has a corner imperfection which looks strange - a counterfeit piece bore a propaganda message on the paper next to the note. Priced as a standard (less expensive) note here.
