    I like and look for them and sadly I still don't know much about them.

    They are German Emergency Money and Medals made from porcelain by Meissen. Very few of the "coins" actually circulated. The were sold to collectors at the time.

    That is the part that I know... what I don't know is which ones are more desirable than others... I suspect I have found somewhere between 25-40 over the years

    My preference are the pieces with denominations, especially the ones from porcelain manufacturers other than Meissen. Here are some individual pieces not from Meissen. You can definitely see the quality difference from the manufacturing process.

    I think the catalog was by Upton in the late 60s early 70s.

    Scheuch is the reference for Porcelain

    Upton did an early metal notgeld catalog. Funck (in German) is the reference for metal notgeld I use

    In your second picture that features a group of three, the one on the far left is part of a set that is also available in black and denominations of 25-50 and 75... not sure how tough the six coin set is for both the Tara Kata and black.

    You're probably aware, but as an FYI, the black pieces also use the base terracotta/clay as a base, then were surface treated. The coating is not glassy enamel, but I believe it was fired after application.
