Original – Issued during the German occupation of a small section of Iran during World War I, this 1904 five mark German Imperial Treasury note (Reichskassenschein) has been overstamped in Farsi with the Iranian denomination of 12 qiran 10 shahi for local circulation (1916–17). The smallest denomination in a five-note issue which included 25 qiran (overprinted on a 10 Mark note), 5 tomans (20 Mark), 25 tomans (100 Mark), and 250 tomans (1,000 Mark).

Reason

High quality, high EV, high condition. This overprinted 5 Mark note is an example of a briefly issued and rare series of World War I emergency currency. This 1904 German Imperial Treasury note was re-issued in 1916–17 for use by German forces in Iran and denominated in the local qiran, a subunit of the Iranian toman.

• Comment - Need a US copyright tag for the banknote itself. (PD-1923). Or you can go with PD-1923-anon instead of the current template and have it apply to both the US and Germany. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 23:40, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

• Support – Historical EV – presumably a very rare item. Even without the overprinting (right below), the banknote's Art Nouveau graphics are interesting. Sca (talk) 17:47, 5 June 2015 (UTC)
