Reverse description The reverse carries a colourful pictorial vignette occupying the full field. A forest scene frames a panoramic view of the town of Auma in the middle distance, with a church steeple visible among red-roofed buildings. In the foreground to the right, a folkloric forest gnome in a red cap sits on a mushroom examining a large Boletus, surrounded by clusters of mushrooms throughout the woodland floor. Denomination panels reading '1 MARK' appear in black on white at the lower left and right, flanking a three-line rhyming verse in German Fraktur script.
