| Reverse description | A classically draped allegorical female figure, representing Commerce or Progress, reclines in three-quarter view facing left, leaning against a large winged wheel — symbolic of the railway locomotive. In her left hand she holds a caduceus entwined with serpents, and in her right hand she extends a laurel wreath. To her left stands a stylized railway signal post or milepost. The encircling legend commemorates the first steam railway in Germany, running from Nuremberg to Fürth, built in 1835, with the date ERBAUT 1835 inscribed in the lower exergue. |
