| Reverse description | The reverse depicts the Dresden Frauenkirche (Church of Our Lady) in a powerful dual-state composition: the upper portion of the church, including its distinctive bell-shaped dome and lantern tower, is rendered intact and complete, while the lower half of the building dissolves into a mass of rubble and ruins, evoking the destruction wrought by the February 1945 Allied bombing. Superimposed across the body of the church in bold block lettering is the four-line inscription WIEDER AUFBAU FRAUENKIRCHE DRESDEN, referencing the ongoing reconstruction effort. The circumferential legend 50 JAHRE MAHNUNG ZU FRIEDEN UND VERSOHNUNG arcs around the upper field, commemorating fifty years as a reminder of peace and reconciliation. The overall design is a striking artistic statement blending architectural precision with symbolic contrast between destruction and renewal. |
