| Reverse description | Central device depicting an Ottifant, the cartoon elephant character created by German comedian Otto Waalkes, standing in a grassy meadow and facing right, with a butterfly hovering nearby and a stylized house and birds visible in the background. A radiant sun with diverging rays dominates the upper field. The border of the inner circle is decorated with small butterfly motifs at intervals. Otto Waalkes's facsimile signature appears in the lower right field. The upper legend reads SOL LUCET OMNIBUS in Latin, and the lower legend reads DIE SONNE SCHEINT FÜR ALLE in German, both translating to 'The sun shines for all.' |
