| Reverse description | Printed in dark brown on a light ground, the reverse is centred on a detailed architectural vignette of the Burg Rathaus enclosed within a decorative cartouche crowned by a small rendition of the city gate. The numeral 25 appears at upper left and upper right, each flanked by symmetrical rose-cluster ornaments, while elaborate scrollwork and foliate borders frame the entire composition; a banner below the central vignette carries the motto WIR HOFFEN AUF BESSERE ZEITEN, and the printer's imprint is set at the lower margin. |
