**Another nice small note issued during WWI. There are thousands of different notes to collect. Heron particularly likes notes with water scenes, ships of all types, fancy coats of arms, and even strange names in Alemannic. Many different ways to enjoy collecting numismatics. And the fun of collecting continues onward.**
