Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 10 Mark coin from Saxony (German notgeld) made of Porcelain (brown) weighing 4.65g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of porcelain, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, and it was also much lighter than other coins of similar value, which made it stand out. Additionally, the coin's design featured a unique combination of letters and numbers, which made it easily recognizable. These features, along with its historical context, make the 10 Mark coin from Saxony a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
