  1. Searching is very important part of collecting. Nothing beats the feeling when you finally find something that you've been searching for years.
  2. The information about different grading systems can be found in every Krause and Pick catalogue.
  3. That's one really smart move, getting the book before the coin. Good luck with collecting Almin
  4. Here's the lint to the translated document
  5. I'm not sure that I understand your question. I'll try to describe the political and monetary situation in that region. WW1 ended in December 1918, and one of results was the crash of the Austro-Hungarian empire and the creation of several new countries: Czech republic, Hungaria, Kingdom of Yugoslavia, (maybe, I'm not sure) Romania, Fiume (as a free city)... Austro-Hungarian money soon started to loose it's value, and those new countries decided to "mark" or "validate" A-U kroner found on their territories, to prevent circulation of fresh printed (and worthless) A-U kroner. You can try to put this document into Google translate (Croatian->English), the result is actually quite good (one thing: Rijeka means river, but I don't think that there's any river in the city of Rijeka ) best regards Almin
  6. Yes, that's right. And to prohibit the use of the same but not overstamped banknotes from other countries.
  7. Thanx dave Yes, there is a reason for two overstamps. Actually, there are three different overstamps - the third one is knows as Savoy or SABAUDO coat of arms, used by Italian army. Banknotes with this overstamp are extremely rare (unfortunately, not my collection): Right after WW1 (september 1919) Italian troops, led by D'Annunzio, marched in Fiume and annexed the city to Italy. They accepted Austro-Hungarian monetary system and every banknote that circulated in the area was overstamped. The first type of stamp was SABAUDO stamp. Together with it, the second type was introduced - the oval stamp CITTA DI FIUME. This one was in use for only a couple of weeks, because of heavy counterfeits. In the beginning oh November 1919. the third stamp was introduced - rectangular stamp INSTITUTO DI CREDITO - CONSIGLIO NAZIONALE - CITTA DI FIUME. Only the higher value banknotes (10-1000 kroner) with type II stamp were overstamped with the third stamp. Papirni novac - Fiume - D'Annunzio (Paper money - Fiume - D'Annunzio) page shows all overstamped banknotes with values in € for fine, VF and XF.
  8. Hi ccg There are some other banknotes, from mid 1800 and post WW1, but they are some kind of emergency issues too. More details can be found in a catalogue by Borna Barac: Paper money from the states of the former Yugoslavia More info about city of Fiume / Rijeka can be found on wikipedia: Free State of Fiume, and even some info about Fiume krone (very basic and incomplete). There are some other resources about Fiume kroner, but they are in Croatian: Papirni novac - Fiume - D'Annunzio (Paper money - Fiume - D'Annunzio) Krune "CITTA DI FIUME" i problem valute u Rijeci od godine 1918-1924. (Kroner "Citta di Fiume" and monetary problem in Rijeka in years 1918-1924) best regards Almin
  9. Hi everyone Here come several banknotes from the city of Fiume, today Rijeka, Croatia. Banknotes are rather scarce, you don't see them every day. Fiume PS101a 1 krona 1916 - circular stamp Citta di Fiume similar banknote: Next one is Fiume PS108c 10 kronen 1915 (1921) - circular stam Citta di Fiume on the obverse, and rectangular stamp Instituto di Credito Consiglio Nazionale on the reverse And the last one is Fiume PS112d 50 kronen 1914 (1921), with both stamps on the obverse: bye
  10. I'm so jealous on that note from Morocco
  11. Got this one 2 days ago: Yugoslavia P67a 1,000 Dinara 1946 - ornament paper, without security thread (AU) (scans are from Ron Wise's gallery, haven't had time to scan my banknote)
