2 Mark - Waldenburg / Schlesien

Waldenburg's porcelain notgeld emerged from the same acute coin shortage that drove dozens of German municipalities to commission ceramic currency in 1921–22. The city contracted with one of the regional Silesian porcelain manufacturers — the area around Waldenburg being industrial mining country, not a traditional porcelain center — which makes the brown bisque composition here less refined than the celebrated Meissen or Rosenthal issues. Scheuch's classification of this specific type as variety "a" within catalog number 247 indicates at least one documented die or glaze variant exists for this denomination alone.
