| Reverse description | The reverse of the underlying 100 Mark note carries a central historicist vignette in blue-grey tones, illustrating a scene from the 1628 siege of Stralsund by Wallenstein, with period figures and soldiers gathered before a panoramic view of the city's skyline. Flanking the central scene are two shield-shaped cartouches bearing the denomination "100 Mark" and the date "30.6. 1628", embellished with ribbons, crossed cannon, cannonballs, and chains. At the lower centre, a circular red seal of the city of Stralsund — inscribed "SIGILLUM CIVITATIS STRALESSUNDIS" — anchors the composition, while defiant historical quotations in Low German blackletter script are inscribed in the upper corners. |
