| Reverse description | Cream-ground reverse printed in grey-green and black, enclosed by a bold black rule with red and white draped ribbon ornaments at the upper corners. The upper portion carries the denomination '1M' in large red script alongside the cursive title 'Gutschein der Gemeinde Holnis', beneath which a panoramic landscape vignette in fine line-engraving style presents a view across the Flensburg Fjord with rolling dunes in the foreground and the Danish ironclad Rolf Krake under steam and sail in the middle distance, captioned 'ROLF KRAKE AUF DER FLUCHT'. Across the lower margin a bold gothic inscription commemorates the 1864 recapture of the region — 'WIEDER DEUTSCH GEWORDEN DURCH UNSERE MACHT 1864' — with the printer's imprint 'Aug. Westphalen, Flensburg.' at the lower right. |
