default-information originate always - OSPF

Dear All,

I have two Router (R1, R2) connected via Serial Link running OSPF
(area 0) and advertising some networks.

The issue is that I provide "default-information originate always" on
R1 to provide default route to R2, so no problem here but as soon as I
provide "default-information originate always" on R2 that default
route which I got from R1 vanishes and neither do i see any default
router on R1 which it should from R2, what's the reason for this?

R1:

router ospf 1
 router-id 10.1.0.1
 network 10.21.11.65 0.0.0.0 area 1
 network 192.168.10.1 0.0.0.0 area 0
 default-information originate always

R2:

router ospf 1
 router-id 10.1.0.2
 network 172.17.4.0 0.0.0.255 area 2
 network 192.168.10.2 0.0.0.0 area 0
 default-information originate always

Thanks
Aamir
