This is a 1920s German notgeld note commemorating laundry detergent entrepreneur Eduard Hoffmann. He used the grooming white cat on his products to symbolize cleanliness. simonbeattie.co.uk/blog/archive...
Elaborate print centered around pleasant looking shorthaired white cat licking its foreleg. It is surrounded by little stylized flowers and a swirling, knotted banner that bears pointy gothic script. I don't know what it says. Probably something about hygiene. The number 50 appears in both upper corners and "PFG" in both lower corners, the whole composition is rendered in black and a striking combination of bold dark orange and a sort of sage green.
