| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central design features the civic arms of Bitterfeld: a fortified tower or gatehouse flanked by two heraldic shields, with crossed mining tools (pickaxes) beneath, symbolizing the town's industrial and mining heritage. To the left of the central device appears the numeral '1' and to the right the letter 'M', together denoting the denomination of 1 Mark. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded border, characteristic of molded porcelain Notgeld of the early Weimar period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bitterfeld's 1921 porcelain notgeld belongs to a brief, peculiar window in German monetary history when the postwar coin metal shortage was acute enough that municipalities turned to their local industries for solutions. Bitterfeld sat in the heart of central Germany's chemical and industrial belt, but the porcelain issues came primarily from the Meissen and Thuringian tradition of ceramic emergency coinage — a practical workaround that the Reichsbank tolerated rather than sanctioned.
Porcelain pieces from this period were produced in limited runs and retired quickly once the inflationary crisis deepened past the point where small-denomination coinage mattered at all.
