2 Mark Bad Weixdorf-Lausa [Stadt, Sachsen]

Bad Weixdorf-Lausa issued this piece during the acute coin shortage of 1921, when Germany's metal coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply never minted in sufficient quantity against postwar economic collapse. Meissen's porcelain industry stepped into the gap, producing notgeld for dozens of Saxon municipalities. The Staatliche Porzellan-Manufaktur Meissen handled much of this regional output, which is why the quality of these ceramic pieces so often exceeds what you'd expect from emergency currency.

Brown-glazed examples from this municipality are among the less commonly encountered color variants in the Weixdorf-Lausa series.
