The denomination 25 MARK appears prominently in large numerals and lettering to the left of the design. The legend MUSCAU GRAD is inscribed in the upper right field. The engraver's initials ВБ (Cyrillic monogram of Vitaly Bakhtinov) appear in the upper left area of the field.

Informazioni aggiuntive	Upper Lusatia has not been a functioning political entity since its absorption into Saxony under the 1635 Peace of Prague, which transferred the territory from Bohemia as partial payment for Saxon neutrality in the Thirty Years' War. A "25 Mark" denomination from a margravate extinct for nearly four centuries invites obvious questions about issuing authority. This is almost certainly a modern fantasy piece or novelty strike, with no historical monetary precedent behind the denomination or the issuer.
