Here we have a nice set of books on The Life and Times of St. Anselm, Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of the Britains by Martin Rule...
From the library of medieval scholar, Fr. Allen B. Wolter, O.F.M., with his signature...
And found in the book (by a nice fellow who was browsing) was an old, German Rentenmark, the currency issued to stop the hyperinflation of 1922-23. The currency was printed and minted from 1923 to 1937. This note dates from 1937; the stamp is dated 1948 (which is the last year during which this currency was valid).
And here's the verso of the note, along with a leaf that was also in the book. Presumably the leaf was placed there by Fr. Wolter. So it's a relic! The Holy Leaf of Wolter!
