Reverse description The reverse presents a dynamic figure of a witch in high relief, depicted in a crouching, wind-swept posture with flowing hair and a broom visible to her right side, evoking the Walpurgis Night folklore associated with the Harz region. The figure is entirely enclosed within a large horseshoe frame oriented with the opening at the bottom, its inner edge decorated with rectangular notches. No legend or inscription appears on this side; the design relies entirely on the mythological imagery as an allusion to the Hexentanzplatz near Thale.
