| Reverse description | The reverse bears a powerful expressionist scene sculpted in high relief, depicting a muscular male figure, semi-nude and crouching, straining forward at an industrial machine or anvil while chained at the ankle to a heavy ball and chain — an allegorical representation of economic servitude and the hardship of inflation-era Germany. The engraver's signature H. WEVER appears incused in the lower right of the field. Around the upper periphery, a Low German (Westphalian dialect) legend reads VMME DE SAKE KVORT TE MAKEN, meaning 'To make the matter short' or 'To get to the point,' serving as an ironic commentary on the emergency monetary situation. The date 1923 is inscribed at the base of the reverse, flanked by raised dots. |
