Reverse description The central field depicts two elderly figures — an old man leaning on a walking stick and an old woman — rendered in low relief, symbolizing impoverished citizens reduced to begging during the hyperinflationary crisis. Surrounding the figures, a circular legend in Latin-script capital letters with word-separating dashes reads 'ALMOSEN-SCHMERZT-IN-ALTER-HAND-DIE-GOLD-EINST-GAB-DEM-VATERLAND', translating as 'Alms pain in aged hands that once gave gold to the Fatherland.' The design is enclosed within a continuous pearl (beaded) border along the inner rim, consistent with the obverse treatment.
