Comment
Menzel: EEEInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Mark coin from Waldenburg/Schlesien 1922 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 a ceramic material, which gives it a distinctive brown color and a relatively low weight of 2.7 grams. This makes it stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its collectible value.
