10 Euro Silver Aufbrezeln – Leather Coin P

Originally designed to withstand the harsh mountain climate and the physical demands of work in forestry and agriculture, lederhosen are made from sturdy deer or chamois leather. Historically, they were a reliable companion that often lasted a lifetime and were passed down through the generations. Today, decorations fashioned from elaborate embroidery featuring animal and plant motifs adorn many lederhosen, symbolising a deep connection to nature, resilience and regional pride.

Whether worn at folk festivals, family gatherings or in everday life, lederhosen connect the past, present and future. A man wearing intricately embroidered lederhosen and other traditional attire is shown seated on the coin’s reverse. His hat, clothing and walking stick are colour-printed. A horizontal decorative band with a stag motif adorns the background. The coin’s obverse features tools and products used in leatherworking. In the background on the left, a section of a traditional belt with quill embroidery runs horizontally, in front of which stands a stitching awl.

The dexterity, patience and expertise of the lederhosen maker turn every pair of lederhosen into a work of art. Yet the enduring tradition of lederhosen not only stems from their artisanship but also from what they stand for – a little piece of home, a sign of quality and an expression of a lifestyle that values craftsmanship and authenticity. Whether as an heirloom, a fashionable highlight or faithful everyday companion, lederhosen stand for values that never go out of fashion.
