Reverse description The reverse carries a full-width polychrome landscape vignette of the Externsteine rock pillars rising amid trees in the Teutoburger Wald, framed on the left and right by decorative pilaster columns. Below the landscape, a captioned panel identifies the scene as 'DIE EXTERNSTEINE IM TEUTOBURGER WALDE BEI HORN I. L. – ALTGERMANISCHE KULTSTÄTTE', and two further text panels beneath carry a poetic verse in German referencing the ancient Germanic sacred site and the battles of Arminius.

UND ÜBER IHNEN GLÄNZEN EW'GE STERNE.
WAS SIE GESCHAUT IN LÄNGST VERGANGENER ZEIT,
DAS KÜNDEN UNS DIE ALTEN HELDENSAGEN.
SIE SAH'N DER DEUTSCHEN STÄMME BITTERN STREIT,
SIE SAH'N ARMINIUS SEINE SCHLACHTEN SCHLAGEN.
