Reverse description The field depicts a high-relief allegorical scene of men and women in contemporary Weimar-era dress dancing frenetically around a tall pedestal topped by a small golden calf figurine, referencing the biblical episode of idolatrous worship and serving as a satirical commentary on hyperinflationary profiteering. The figures are rendered in dynamic, expressionistic style with considerable sculptural depth. The legend WIR TANZEN UM DAS GOLDENE KALB (We dance around the golden calf) is absent from the field but appears as the reverse motto. The design is enclosed within a raised beaded border identical to the obverse.
