Hello! I don't get the thing with the arched ornaments. Can anyone help? Thank you!

 No idea what an ‘arched ornament’ is or what you want to know. Anyway >

 Quote: In the early years of the 20th century, as Germany coped first with a wartime coin shortage and later with hyperinflation and the collapse of its currency, the country issued a dazzling array of notgeld, a term which translates to "emergency money." These improvised currencies took many forms. The best known notgeld are richly illustrated paper notes. Other types include metal and ceramic tokens, encased postage, playing cards, strips of leather, pieces of coal, and more. Notgeld was an immediate fascination for collectors in Germany and around the world. Today the field offers an affordable opportunity to build an attractive collection that truly has a story to tell. 

Thank you! I have the one in the photo i've attached, but i have no idea wich one is mine. Looks like there are eight variations on the same date.

 Ah, so those are the ornaments - 

hoping some members will know … 

 Summary of that picture 

1 - 1st ornament arched upwards 

2 - 2nd 3rd ornaments arched upwards 

3 - 5th ornament arched upwards 

4 - 2nd 3rd 6th ornaments arched upwards 

5 - 1st 2nd 5th 6th ornaments arched upwards 

6 - 2nd 6th ornaments arched upwards 

7 - 2nd 3rd 4th 5th ornaments arched upwards 

8 - 4th ornament arched upwards 

 So yes, those are the lines on that link at the start of the N#211965 topic 

N#211965 

and yes would have been useful if the page creator had 

added what they all mean, or what catalogue it might be from. 

These comments are absolutely useless unless it gets established what the first ornament is and in which direction it progresses (preferably with an example picture).

Agreed. Same on the other page, with just two lines 

N#218094 

All 5 of that type have it.  I've studied them and am no closer to understanding what they mean than I was yesterday before I ever heard of them.   I'm sure @alamir will tell us.
