This inflation era "Hunger Medal" of Saxony shows a family in despair, standing before a thicket of thorns, for their horrible fate caused by the Great War and the debilitating reparations imposed on Germany. Legend: "DES DEUTSCHEN VOLKES LEIDENSWEG" [THE GERMAN PEOPLE'S PATHWAY (of Sorrow?)] The reverse: w/image of sinking ship below; "AM DEZEMBER 1923 KOSTETEN IN PAPIERMARK / 1 PFUND BROT 260 MILLIARD. / 1 PFUND FLEISCH 3.2 BILLIONEN / 1 GOLDMARK 1 BILLION." Translation showing the effects of inflation: IN DECEMBER 1923 COSTS IN PAPERMARK / 1 POUND BREAD 260 BILLION. / 1 POUND MEAT 3.2 BILLION / 1 GOLDMARK 1 BILLION
