Find out more about the historic background of the period in which this banknote was issued. Back side of the note:
The back of this note is full of symbols and metaphors.
Germania sits under a mighty oak, which is a symbol for
strength, heroism and victory. Germania is armoured and holds sword and shield (showing the
German eagle) to defend the German nation. On the left side (in the background of the scene) the German fleet is shown. In the early 20th century the German empire started a massive build up of the fleet in an ambition to rival England. From this picture the note received its name "Flottenhunderter" - the fleet hundred. In the front of the left side a plough (as symbol for agricultur), an anvil (heavy industry), a cogwheel (light industry) and a bale of goods (trading) are displayed. The note has a very beautiful water mark showing a portrait of the German emperor Wilhelm I. | ||||
