Interesting fact
The 1 Centavo 1921 coin from Portuguese notgeld (Portugal) made of Porcelain (white) weighing 1.86g is a rare and unique coin that was issued during a time of economic crisis in Portugal. The coin was made of porcelain, which was a unusual material for coins at the time, and it was designed to be used as a substitute for traditional metal coins that were in short supply due to the war effort. The coin's design features the Portuguese coat of arms and the inscription "1 Centavo" on one side, and the other side features a decorative pattern. The coin's rarity and historical significance make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
