Introduction

Welcome to this twelveth edition of the Standard Catalog

of World Paper Money, General Issues – 1368 to 1960 . The

scope of this volume is world paper money from the earliest

known Chinese notes (1368) to issues circulating in 1960,

though some later issues appear to complete a series or offer

the reader material one would hope to find within this work.

The general 1960 cut-off was done to better keep pace with

the ever increasing ‘modern’ listings and keep current in

major price fluctuations by splitting off issues since 1961

into their own annual volume – the Standard Catalog of

World Paper Money, Modern Issues – 1961 to present .

For the ease of identification, notes are listed under their

historic country name and/or the name as it appears on the

banknote. Notes of a particular bank are listed in date order

and then grouped in ascending denomination order. In the

cases of countries where more than one issuing authority is in

effect at a single time, follow the bank headings in the list-

ings and it will become apparent if that country’s listing is by

date or alphabetical by issuing authority. In the cases where a

country has changed from a kingdom to a republic all the

banknotes of the kingdom’s era would be listed before that of

the republic’s.

worthless due to hyper-inflation, early high denomination

notes are extremely difficult to locate, especially in choice to

uncirculated grades of preservations.

The development of widespread collector interest in paper

money of most nations were long inhibited by a near total

absence of adequate documentary literature. No more than

four decades ago collectors could refer to only a few catalogs

and dealer price lists of limited scope, most of which were

incomplete and difficult to acquire, or they could build their

own knowledge through personal collecting pursuits and con-

tact with fellow collectors.

The early catalogs authored by Albert Pick chronicled

issues of Europe and the Americas and were assembled as

stepping stones to the ultimate objective which became real-

ity with publication of the first Standard Catalog of World

Paper Money in 1975. That work provided collectors with

near complete listings and up-to-date valuations of all

recorded government note issues of the 20th century, incor-

porating Pick’s previously unpublished manuscripts on

Africa, Asia and Oceania, plus other earlier issues.

This completely revised and updated twelfth edition pre-

sents a substantial extension of the cataloging effort initiated

in 1975 and revised in succeeding editions. As the most com-

prehensive world paper money reference ever assembled, it

fully documents the many and varied legal tender paper cur-

rency issued circulated by nearly 300 past and current gov-

ernments of the world from 1368 to 1960.

Falling within the scope of this General Issues volume are all

legal tender issues circulated under the auspices of recognized

national governments and their banking agents, including notes

which enjoyed wide circulating in their respective countries.

Exceptions are the multitudinous notes of the German states

and cities, especially those of the World War I and postwar

period to 1923, and the vast category of Chinese local issues

and similar limited-circulation issues of other countries.

An Invitation

Users of this catalog may find a helpful adjunct is the

Bank Note Reporter, the only monthly newspaper devoted

exclusively to North American and world paper money. Each

issue presents up-to-date news, feature articles and informa-

tion – including appearances of the World Paper Money

Update on the latest world paper money releases and discov-

eries. Listings in these presentations are all keyed to the stan-

dard Catalog numbering system utilized in this catalog.

A review of paper money collecting

Paper money collecting is undoubtedly nearly as old as

paper money itself, this segment of the numismatic hobby did

not begin to reach a popularity approaching that of coin col-

lecting until the later half of the 1970’s. While coins and

paper money are alike in that both served as legal obligations

to facilitate commerce, long-time paper money enthusiasts

know the similarity ends there.

Coins were historically guaranteed by the intrinsic value of

their metallic content – at least until recent years when virtu-

ally all circulating coins have become little more than legal

tender tokens, containing little or no precious metal – while

paper money possesses a value only when it is accepted for

debts or converted into bullion or precious metals. With many

note issues, this conversion privilege was limited and ulti-

mately negated by the imposition of redemption cut-off dates.

Such conditions made collecting of bank notes a risky

business, particularly with notes possessing a high face

value. This is why in most instances, except where issued

were withdrawn shortly after release or became virtually
