| Reverse description | Multicoloured satirical vignette set on a perspective chessboard rendered in black and yellow squares, upon which caricatured figures representing various nations — including a rotund capitalist astride a sack labelled 'DOLLAR' — are positioned as chess pieces in a stalemate. A pink guilloche panel at upper right carries the title 'DAS PATT!' and a lower panel bears an explanatory German aphorism regarding the nature of stalemate, all framed within a bold black border. |
| Reverse lettering | DAS PATT! PAT IST, WENN MAN SELBST NICHT MEHR ZIEHEN KANN, DER ANDERE ABER AUCH NICHT GEWINNT. DOLLAR |
