Warsaw Ghetto Set. Complete set of six
Warsaw Ghetto Set. Complete set of six notes, made by the Jewish postal government in Warsaw during World War II. Probably the only currency produced in the Ghetto without Nazi approval. Notes, crudely made, appear unused. 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 50 Groszy denominations, sizes 11/4 x 2 to 41/4 x 6, in varying shades of blue on light tan paper, decorated with six-pointed stars. The blue ink is variable in darkness, the 50 Groszy note being unusually dark with the stars occupying most of the space, and a flame obscuring the "SS" motif. Choice and very rare.
