Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Mark coin from Saxony (German notgeld) made of Porcelain (brown) weighing 3.57g is that it was issued during a time of economic crisis in Germany, specifically during the hyperinflation period of the 1920s. The coin was made of porcelain, which was a unusual material for coins at that time, and it was designed to be easily identifiable and hard to counterfeit. Additionally, the coin's design featured a unique combination of letters and numbers that made it difficult to produce fake coins. These features were implemented to address the issue of counterfeiting that was prevalent during that time.
