DescriptionA sheet of bonds with nine different proofs of stocks in German Marks. On a red and white vertical striped background, there are eight identical rectangles equally spaced containing the title of the bond with the date 1923 and a hand-written signature on each. The only differing element on each one is the dates. Starting in März [March] 1924 and moving to September 1924 for the next example, the pattern is repeated for März 1925, Juli 1925, etc. until September 1927. A separate rectangle is on the lower right side containing a stamped number. Above this is a letter stamped in red and the identifying number on each rectangle "Nr. 30813." Below this is a longer rectangle across the whole sheet for 200,000 Marks. The 200,000 is stamped in black in the middle, and there is the identifying number on the right and conditions in small print below in German. This lower rectangle has a border containing geometric shapes and a title at the top.On View
