| Beschrijving voorzijde | Octagonal zinc notgeld token with a continuous pearl border following the eight-sided periphery. A beaded circle frames the central field, within which the large numeral '2' denotes the denomination. The circular legend between the pearl rim and the beaded circle reads 'GROHMANN & FROSCH' in the upper arc and 'LEIPZIG-PLAGWITZ' in the lower arc, each separated by a five-pointed star. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime small-change substitute coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Grohmann & Frosch was a Leipzig-Plagwitz textile manufacturer that issued emergency token coinage — Notgeld — during the acute small-change shortages that plagued German industry in the early 1920s. Factory-issued zinc pieces like this one were circulated internally among workers as wage supplements or canteen currency, redeemable only within the issuing firm's own ecosystem. The arrangement was legally tolerated but perpetually contested by municipal authorities who viewed private scrip as an encroachment on official monetary functions.
Leipzig-Plagwitz developed as a dense industrial suburb specifically because of rail access granted in the 1870s, and its factories became heavy users of this kind of internal coinage during shortages.
