The coin features an image of a woman representing the city of Leipzig, surrounded by the words "STADT LEIPZIG" (City of Leipzig) and the year of minting. The coin was designed by the artist Grohmann and Frosch, and it was made of zinc, which was a common material for coins at that time. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of rapid industrialization and urbanization in Germany, and it reflects the growth and development of the city of Leipzig during that period. Today, the coin is a sought-after collector's item, and it serves as a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of the city of Leipzig.
