Very nice, pepactonius!  I'm watching a seven piece set of those on ebay. The 5,10 & 20 Mark are gilded porcelain.

    Ok, here is my set of 7 porcelain Notgeld from Saxony. 20 Pfennig to 20 mark. I have also added a close up of the gilded 20 Mark. All made in Meissen. Now that reminds me. I am planning to write an article on the people who built and worked in the factory. The title will be "Of Meissen Men" (with apologies to John Steinbeck for this terrible pun)

@mcshilling, as I recall, this set was not particularly expensive. I do not recall now what I paid and I cannot recall now when and where I got it. it might have been from a dealer in Germany, where they are reasonably available, and I think that the Saxony set is one of the more common ones.

Assuming that I am the winner, I will post something Sunday evening. I admit that I am really struggling to find something new-everything has been used, I think.

I'm glad someone else finally came in and won the round, so I don't have to come up with a new challenge. In the future, perhaps the last place finisher for each round should have to devise the new challenge, as punishment?
