| Additional information |
Waldenburg's porcelain notgeld issues of 1922 came out of a genuine regional emergency — the post-WWI hyperinflationary spiral had made metal coinage economically irrational to produce, and the coal-mining town turned to the Meissen-adjacent tradition of Silesian ceramics manufacturing to fill the gap. Brown porcelain pieces like this one were produced in limited runs and intended for local circulation only, not export or collection, which makes surviving undamaged examples genuinely harder to find than the mintage numbers alone suggest. Chips to the edge are the norm.
