Reverse description Printed in dark red and black on cream paper, the reverse carries a satirical caricature vignette by A. Paul Weber: a crouching, bag-laden figure reaches toward a large eagle that pecks at a bundle of banknotes resting atop the bold black numeral '10'. Denomination figures '10' appear in each upper corner and the legend '10 Pfennig 10' is set in Gothic script along the lower margin. A continuous ironic aphorism in capital letters runs around all four inner borders, and the monogram 'APW' with two stars is centred at the foot; the inverted words 'DIE' and 'SEIN' appear at the bottom corners, consistent with the series' playful design.
