Mine actually came from a money exchanger at melt years ago
On ebay germany it is often available and goes the normal 3-5% over melt
It is 15 grams net goldweight ( 31.1 grams is an ounce so it is slightly less then half an ounce)

The last 14 days several sold on ebay germany for 445 euro in auction  and 470 in buy it
now

The first vignette on the left of the note is rather famous in Mexican banknote collecting annals, La Siesta is the title of this work that graced the $50 denomination for this bank. High grade, issued, banknotes from this era of Mexico are difficult to find as they were called in and redeemed when Banco de Mexico became the sole issuer of paper money in the 1920's. As with most Mexican banknotes this note portrays lovely colouring coupled with deeply embossed engravings - in this case proprietary images to Banco Nacional. The lady on the right of the note appeared on all denominations from this bank.

When the Germans overran Ukraine they imposed a whole new monetary system on the country, the USSR rubles were removed from circulation at a rate of 1:1 vs the karbovnets denominated currency that they issued. The karbovnets was valued at 10:1 to the German Reichsmark. Curiously, but tellingly the Germans issued this currency with only a small amount of Ukrainian langauge text - on the bottom reverse of the note - in effect letting the Ukrainians know where they stood in the situation. The first notes prepared had all of the text in Ukrainian, but they were rejected by the German run "Central Emission Bank". One wonders why they even bothered denominating the currency in a name familiar to Ukrainians, they might just as well as referred to the new currency as marks given the presence of mostly German language on the notes.

the design of this banknote was done by the printer, Orell Fussli, a firm founded in 1519 by Christoph Froschauer. The feminine vignette is known as Helvetia and her image is borrowed from the gold 20 CHF coin. This design caused a bit of a stir when it was released, because well, Helvetia is rather voluptuous and healthy. This banknote represents some of the finest of printing technology available in the 1920's by a printer that is still one of the leaders in secure banknote printing today.

This vignette is titled Miss Ann Izzard, the engraving is by Charles A. Brooks. This note is enigmatically rare, in fact the whole Series 591 MPC issue is quite scarce today - particularly the higher denomination notes above the 50 cent issue. This series was only used for three years and was replaced in 1964 by the Series 611 issue.
