Hey thanks Hondo! Quote:
Wow - that is a huge coin, no matter the material. A piece of porcelain that large surviving this many years is amazing! Yeah, I guess most of these didn't actually enter circulation but kind of went straight to the collector market, so many are in great condition. hfjacinto those coins are very cool, I didn't know they existed. I just added one of those to my "get list"! |

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.  |
