Comment
Menzel: EEEInteresting fact
The Meissen 1921 2 Mark coin is notable for being made of porcelain, a material more commonly associated with ceramics and pottery than coins. This unique choice of material was a result of the economic and political circumstances of the time, as Germany was experiencing hyperinflation and there was a shortage of traditional metals used in coin production. The use of porcelain allowed the city of Meißen to create a coin that was both durable and aesthetically pleasing, and it has since become a sought-after collector's item.
