Notably the Most Beautiful Banknotes

The collection of old banknotes, also called notaphily, is a fascinating hobby. Banknotes are actually a type of negotiable promissory note which were or are used as legal tender in a specific country – issued by an authorized institution such as a bank of issue or a central bank. In addition to the most magnificent coins, the Schoeller Münzhandel product range therefore also includes a wide variety of banknotes for collectors, practically covering the development of paper money from the 18th century to the present day. Especially rare banknotes often see an increase in value. For example, the last Austrian banknote series (with well-known subjects from Schrödinger to Wagner to Mozart) is traded well above its face value (nominal value) today – while for some, it is simply a beautiful memory of the “good old times”. In short, there are many good reasons to buy banknotes.

The Fascinating History of Money

Of course, many banknotes also tell a personal story, which essentially makes them witnesses of their historical surroundings. At Schoeller Münzhandel, we are just as enthusiastic about these banknotes as many collectors all over the world. Allow yourself to be transported to this unparalleled universe of paper money. If you have any questions or requests, our paper-money experts are always happy to help you here .
