| Reverse description | Within a continuous beaded border, the reverse carries a finely modelled high-relief allegorical scene depicting a crowd of men and women in contemporary early 1920s dress dancing exuberantly around a tall classical column, atop which stands a golden calf — a direct biblical allusion to idolatry employed as satirical commentary on the Weimar hyperinflation crisis. The figures are rendered in an expressive, dynamic style with outstretched limbs conveying frenzied, disordered movement. The reverse field bears no legend or inscription, the satirical imagery serving as the sole communicative element. The composition exemplifies the sophisticated artistic and political commentary frequently encountered in higher-denomination German Notgeld of 1923. |
