| Reverse description | The reverse carries a central panoramic vignette of the Coblenz cityscape with church spires and rooftops rendered in fine intaglio style, flanked by two allegorical figures seated on clouds — a bearded elderly male figure to the left and a draped female figure to the right, each facing the city view. The heading 'Stadt Coblenz' appears at the top in Gothic script, with the denomination 'Zwanzig Mark' arched above the central vignette; the municipal coat of arms appears in the upper corners, and the numeral '20' is repeated in ornamental cartouches at the lower left and right. |
