| Reverse description | Central design depicting an Ottifant — the fantastical elephant-like cartoon creature created by German comedian Otto Waalkes — shown in profile, seated amidst a stylised grass field with radiating sunbeams and a sun in the upper field. A butterfly hovers near the Ottifant's head, and a lighthouse is visible in the right background. The bilingual legend SOL LUCET OMNIBUS arcs across the upper border and DIE SONNE SCHEINT FÜR ALLE along the lower border, with the artist's signature Otto inscribed in the field, all separated by decorative floral stops. |
