Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Pfennigs - Sachsen 1921 coin is that it was made of porcelain, which is a unique material for coins. Porcelain was used as a substitute for traditional metals during the production of Notgeld coins in Germany during the early 20th century, as metals were scarce due to the economic crisis caused by World War I. The use of porcelain gave the coins a distinctive brown color and a ceramic feel, making them stand out from other coins of the time.
