| Reverse description | The reverse presents a symbolic abstract composition featuring stylized barbed wire rendered in low relief, arranged in two groups of vertical strands in the upper and lower portions of the field, separated by a horizontal rule. Centrally placed between the two horizontal rules, the honoree's name 'GERTRUD KURZ' is inscribed in spaced capital letters, flanked above and below by her birth and death years '1890' and '1972' respectively. The engraver's signature 'Tissi' appears in small vertical lettering near the upper left, adjacent to the barbed wire motif. The barbed wire serves as a powerful symbolic reference to Gertrud Kurz's humanitarian work aiding refugees and prisoners during World War II. |
