Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mark coin from Bitterfeld, Prussian province of Saxony, made of Porcelain (brown) weighing 5.7g is that it was issued during a time of economic and political turmoil in Germany. The early 1920s saw hyperinflation and political instability in the country, which led to the introduction of a new currency, the Rentenmark, in 1924. The 2 Mark coin from Bitterfeld, issued in 1921, was likely used as a temporary solution to address the shortage of small denomination coins during this period.
