Reverse description Left-side vignette of a German Imperial warship under way at sea, smoke billowing from its funnels and a flag at the masthead, rendered in a vigorous pen-and-ink illustrative style with additional vessels visible in the middle distance. A bold Iron Cross motif appears to the right of centre. The right half of the note carries an eight-line patriotic verse in Gothic script. The printer's imprint appears at the lower right, and an artist's signature is visible at the lower left.
Reverse lettering Wie rauschten sie da hoch empor,
Geschützumdröhnt, die deutschen Fahnen.
Wer hat die Namen nicht im Ohr,
Von unsrer Flotte Siegesbahnen?
Wer dächte nicht voll Lust daran,
Wie, spottend aller Feindesstürme,
Der Schlachtengott den Lorbeer spann
Um unsrer Schiffe Panzertürme?
