Additional information

Bad Weixdorf-Lausa was a small Saxon spa municipality that, like hundreds of German towns in 1921, turned to Notgeld to plug the gap left by a chronic shortage of small-denomination metal coinage. Porcelain issues were a regional specialty rooted in Saxony's deep ceramic industry infrastructure — the Meissen tradition made fired clay a practical, if unconventional, substitute. The brown coloration of this piece distinguishes it from the white and painted variants catalogued under the same Scheuch reference group, indicating a distinct firing or clay composition choice rather than a surface treatment.
