Authorized specialist shop for Meissen porcelain, Bölling Iserlohn, since 1858
During
WW I due to shortages of legitimate coinage which was caused by various
conditions at the time, Municipalities and private parties printed their own
notes and minted their own coins known as Notgeld (emergency money).  Notgeld
continued through 1923-24 and the hyperinflation period of the Weimar Republic. 
As time passed certain notgeld notes and coins, such as the porcelain, became
more collector’s items
than currency.
Many
thousands of different varieties were made.
Meissen
Porcelain was one of the largest makers of the porcelain coins.
These
were made in a variety of colors and designs, as well as gold gilded edges or
with colored glazing. Some porcelain coins were minted by the tens of thousands
and others had very low mintages of less than 200 and are extremely rare
today
.
Watch for

offered between our travels.
