Cardsmiths Series 4 – Notgeld #25 – Amethyst 05/49
This Cardsmiths Series 4 card features Notgeld, translated as “emergency money,” a powerful symbol of economic resilience. Numbered 05/49, this Amethyst variant embodies early-issue collectibility with a deep violet design theme that accentuates its historical prestige.
Originating in Germany and Austria during the post–World War I era, Notgeld notes and coins were issued locally when official currency was scarce. Far more than mere payment tokens, these issues often doubled as propaganda pieces and artistic keepsakes, displaying regional culture through elaborate, colorful designs. Today, Notgeld serves as a reminder of how creativity and necessity merge in times of crisis — bridging the gap between currency and culture.
