Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mark coin from Lengefeld im Erzgebirge (Wittig and Schwabe) 1921 is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Most coins are made of metals like copper, silver, or gold, but this coin was made of brown porcelain, which gives it a distinctive look and feel. This choice of material was likely due to the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of metals for coin production. The use of porcelain as a material for coins was a creative solution to this problem and adds to the coin's historical significance and collectibility.
