Porcelain money

Most famous are the German Notgeld struck between 1921 and 1923, and the gambling tokens used as petty coinage in Siam with Chinese characters.

Building on the popularity of these tokens, Meissen continued to strike Medals in porcelain and stoneware.

[6][7] These were issued in Chinese settlements in the Malay states, for use in gaming establishments, and then as currency.

To deal with large-scale counterfeiting, licensed issuers would change the designs frequently.

This eventually led to the appearance of a new type of gambling counter, called jokoh.
