| Reverse description | The reverse, also in violet, carries a central vignette of the Hildesheim city panorama showing the gothic spires and rooftops of the medieval skyline, framed beneath an Art Nouveau arch from which a winged cherub figure reclines, with the year '1918' integrated into the decorative band. Flanking ornamental panels with sword and column motifs border the scene at left and right, while the lower portion bears the inscription identifying this as Kriegs-Notgeld of the City of Hildesheim. |
