A few more porcelain pieces from Weimar Germany. This medallic piece (about 40 mm) commemorates political and military unrest between Poland and Germany in Silesia post World War I. The obverse shows children being taken from their mother, with a legend that reads something like...""Those who separate us from the German hearth remain a disgrace, unworthy of any love."  This 25 mm piece is from Stadtlengsfeld in central Germany has a cool eagle, a strange shape and kind of strange color for porcelain German coins. This is also not made by Meissen porcelain, I'm trying to get a few coins my other manufacturers.  |

Excellent coins, and very interesting ones too, chrsmat71! The 5 Mark is wonderfully detailed. That's a very curious bird on the Stadtlengsfeld one.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

Well, I had a dry spell there but went back to pick up a few porcelain notgeld coins. A couple of Meissen pieces...  This white one is fairly large, about 40 mm...  ..and this non-Miessen produced one from Ulm that mimics a Thaler from the city including the 1622 date.  Edited by chrsmat71

What an interesting subject! I'd never heard of porcelain coins/medals before this thread.

Hey Victor Ze, pretty interesting stuff hu? Here is a short article on porcelain notgeld made in Germany if anyone is interested. https://coinweek.com/emergency-issu...ain-notgeld/Hey, Hondo, I really dig the Martin Luther coin! I have one too, I thought I posted it here but I guess I didn't! Here's mine.  |

Recently picked up several porcelain tokens and medals, here they are!  This coin is just under US quarter size and fairly thin, make me a bit nervous handling it. The reverse (I think, I have trouble keeping straight which side is which!) show St. Gotthard, who was an archbishop from around the 1st Millenium. If you've heard of the Gotthard pass in Switzerland, it is named after him.  This gilded Meissen medal celebrates the 300 year anniversary of the city of Riesa Germany. Just under 40 mm in size.  This is a large 20 mark coin/medal, just over 40 mm and about 4 mm thick. Can't really squeeze it into a standard flip. It is from the town of Schwabish hall with the coat of arms on one side, and the Comburg, a former Benedictine monastery and fortress in the town.  This medal is the same size as the last, 41 mm and 4 mm thick. It shows Heidelberg caste, the 1669 date is when it was partially destroyed by the French. Edited by chrsmat71
