NEW BOOK: CZECH EMERGENCY MONEY 1848-1850While it was published in 2005, here's a Google-translated excerpt of a new article by Hans-Ludwig Grabowski on the Geldscheine-Online blog about a book on Czech emergency money. -Editor
Nouzové Penežní Poukázy v ceských zemích v letech 1848 - 1850 Emergency notes in the Czech lands in the years 1848-1850 408 pages, illustrated in black and white throughout with eight pages of color plates in the appendix, format 21 cm x 29.7 cm, paperback, 1st edition, Brno 2005, ISBN 80-903662-2-8 Price: 990 CZK (reduced 695 CZK, equivalent to around 26.50 EUR) The catalog presented here was published in 2005, but is still of interest to German collectors today, as there are always questions about German-language emergency money issues from the revolutionary period from 1848 to 1850, which are in cruisers and come from Bohemia and Moravia. After the short part on the Austrian paper money of those years, a very extensive cataloging of the Bohemian and Moravian emergency banknotes of this time follows alphabetically from A for Abertham to Z for Žitenice. Approximately 2400 issues by 757 private companies and institutions in 315 locations are listed. The catalog, written in Czech, is richly illustrated and structured in tabular form by location and issuing point (issuer) with their editions and variants. Both official and private editions are listed (with variants), whereby these were usually written in German in the so-called Sudeten areas inhabited by German. The evaluations were made in two degrees of conservation in Czech crowns. In the appendix there are several color tables with pictures of emergency money and summaries of the historical background in German and English. The catalog can be obtained from Aurea Numismatika in Prague
