 * 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)
