The Prussian Province of Westphalia (Westfalen) struck some of Germany´s most spectacular emergency coins as the Mark made lurching progress into a classic hyper-inflation betweeen 1921 and 1924. As German numismatist Fritz Reissner pointed out in 1940, the intent of the issues was not to provide a circulating coinage but create a numismatic memorial to one of the darkest periods in German history up to that time. Military defeat, foreign occupation of the industrial Ruhr and Inflation were made daily news. The Westphalia pieces have beeen enthusiastically collected for more than 85 years.



The Province of Westphalia (German: Provinz Westfalen) was a province of the Kingdom of Prussia and the Free State of Prussia from 1815-1946.
