| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in yellow, black, and green with a guilloche rope-pattern outer border. The design is divided diagonally into black and yellow triangular fields: the left black diamond bears a portrait vignette of Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Sertürner, the discoverer of morphine and a native of Neuhaus, rendered in fine line engraving style with curly hair and period dress. The right yellow field presents a colour vignette of Sertürner's birthplace. A central downward-pointing triangle carries the denomination '2 MARK' in ornate script, flanked by diagonal banner inscriptions and star ornaments, with the heading 'Dr. SERTÜRNER' on a ribbon scroll at top. |
