| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in green and pale red-orange, with an ornate arrangement of fine guilloche-style scrollwork filling the field. Three tri-pointed heraldic crowns are distributed across the design, and the numeral denomination appears at centre. The overall composition is decorative yet restrained, characteristic of municipal notgeld reverse treatments of the 1923 hyperinflation era. |
