| Obverse description | Right-facing bust portrait of Michel — the archetypal German folk figure — rendered in bold relief, wearing a traditional nightcap. The name legend arcs around the upper field in Gothic Fraktur blackletter: MICHEL UNBESIEGT ABER BETROGEN (Michel undefeated but betrayed). Below the portrait, in the lower field, the denomination NOT GOLDMARK appears in large Fraktur script, referencing the emergency currency context of the hyperinflationary period. |
