Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark - Sachsen 1920-1921 coin from the Federal state of Saxony is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Porcelain was used due to a shortage of metals during the time period, and it was a common practice in Germany during the Notgeld era (1918-1922) to use alternative materials for coin production. The use of porcelain gives the coin a distinctive brown color and a slightly different texture than traditional metal coins.
