Reverse description A bold portrait of the German playwright and poet Bertolt Brecht occupies the left portion of the field, rendered in high relief and depicting the subject in a three-quarter facing view, his hand raised pensively near his chin and holding a cigar. To the right of the portrait, the legend 'BERTOLT BRECHT' is inscribed in two lines, followed by the birth and death dates '1898-1956'. A facsimile of Brecht's autograph signature appears in the central field below the legend, with the commemorative year '-2006-' positioned in the lower right field.
