The anniversary numeral 75 appears prominently, commemorating the 75th anniversary of the organisation's founding. The inscription ELLY HEUSS-KNAPP is positioned above, while S.H. 75 JAHRE MÜTTERGENESUNGSWERK arcs along the periphery, completing the commemorative legend. |

| Additional information |
Elly Heuss-Knapp co-founded the Müttergenesungswerk in 1950, an organization that secured rest and rehabilitation for mothers whose exhaustion after the war years was treated as a medical and social emergency rather than a private matter. The federal government's ongoing commemorative silver program has honored figures from German civil society alongside politicians and scientists since the 1990s, and Heuss-Knapp — wife of the first Federal President Theodor Heuss — is notably recognized here in her own right, not as a consort.
