Reverse description The central vignette presents a crowned heraldic lion rampant holding a sword, rendered in a bold Jugendstil woodcut style against a dark background, with the city's shield — charged with a black eagle — at its breast. To either side, vertical panels carry oak-leaf ornamental motifs in olive-gold. The denomination 'eine Mark' appears in large red Gothic letters split across the left and right margins, with the issuing legend in calligraphic script along the lower border; the printer's imprint 'Druck v. Wilh. Veit.' appears at lower left and the designer's signature 'J. Mezger' at lower right.
