Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Mark coin from Münsterberg (Lower Silesia) is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Porcelain was chosen for this coin because it was a durable and affordable material that could withstand the wear and tear of daily use. The use of porcelain also gave the coin a distinctive brown color, which made it stand out from other coins in circulation at the time.
