Comment
Menzel: BBBInteresting fact
The obverse of the coin features a depiction of the Schusters Warenhaus, a historic department store in Leipzig that was established in 1884 and was a prominent landmark in the city until its demolition in 1972. The inclusion of this image on the coin serves as a nod to the city's rich commercial history and the significance of the Schusters Warenhaus as a cultural and economic hub in Leipzig.
