| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a wild man (Wilder Mann), the traditional heraldic figure associated with the House of Brunswick, standing facing in the field. The figure is portrayed as a bearded, semi-nude man crowned with a wreath of leaves, his body covered in shaggy hair, holding a pine tree or uprooted tree over his left shoulder and standing with his right hand on his hip. Stylized pine trees rendered in curved lines fill the lower portion of the field, serving as the distinctive variety identifier for this issue. The mint-master initials R·B appear to the right of the figure, and the arched Latin legend IN RECTO DECUS curves across the upper field, translating as 'There is honor in the right path.' |
