Leon Biegeleisen (1885-1944) was a Polish economist and academic teacher and an officer of the Polish Army. He studied in Berlin, Vienna and Lviv. During World War I, he collaborated with the Supreme National Committee (Naczelny Komitet Narodowy). After the war, he delivered lectures on economic policy and economics at the Free Polish University (Wolna Wszechnica Polska). He did not survive the Second World War, nevertheless the date and circumstances of his death are unclear. He drew on the achievements of the historical school, while opposing the concept of homo oeconomicus. He perceived economic phenomena in the context of overall social life. He was a supporter of gradual social reforms. He put forward the assumption that both public and private enterprises could operate equally efficiently. His magnum opus, Introduction to the Science of Social Economics integrates the knowledge of the theory of cognition and the methodology of science and is an attempt to develop economic models.
The reverse of the coin features the image of Leon Biegeleisen and the dates of his birth and death. The obverse features a quotation from the work Wstęp do nauki ekonomii społecznej, Volume I, Teoria relatywizmu gospodarczego (The Theory of Economic Relativism).
