| Comments |
The Bank von Danzig operated as the central bank of the Free City of Danzig, the anomalous League of Nations–mandated territory wedged between Weimar Germany and the Polish Corridor. By 1937, National Socialist influence over Danzig's Senate was effectively total, and this issue postdates the point at which the Danzig Gulden had become thoroughly tied to the Reichsmark at a fixed rate — the currency's nominal independence increasingly fictitious.
Bradbury Wilkinson had printed for the Bank von Danzig throughout much of its existence. The Free City ceased to exist in September 1939 when German forces annexed the territory on the first day of the invasion of Poland, rendering all Gulden notes worthless within weeks of that date.
