| Reverse description | A complex allegorical composition by Herbert Wähner commemorating fifty years of the Second Austrian Republic, rendered in a modernist style combining figurative and abstract elements. To the left, a group of figures strain upward with raised arms beside barbed wire, evoking liberation from totalitarianism. The central field depicts classical architectural fragments suggestive of Vienna's monumental buildings, while the right side features a large stylised mask or face in relief, representing the cultural rebirth of the republic. The legend 50 JAHRE arcs across the upper field and ZWEITE REPUBLIK is inscribed along the lower periphery. The overall design synthesises historical memory, architectural heritage, and artistic renewal into a unified commemorative image. |
