    Description

    EUROPE'S MOST FAMOUS WHITE CAT
    The white cat cleaning its paw on this banknote isn't just any cat but the cat belonging to Eduard Hoffman who chose it to be the symbol of his company that made and marketed home hygienic products such as starch, soap, detergent, bleach etc. Hoffman's White Cat Products and his promotion of personal and domestic hygiene became known far and wide.
    The cat became so popular that the town Hoffman's factory was located in issued this 50 Pfennig Notgeld currency in its honor! A poem in Gothic script extols the virtues of the products associated with its furry subject. The reverse displays a dapper portrait of Hoffman himself.
    A very nicely designed and memorable piece of Notgeld that immortalizes a spotlessly white feline and a gospel of cleanliness. Crisp Uncirculated without a single tear, split, stain or fold - very scarce so crisp!  Retail value: .
