| Reverse description | The reverse is engraved in dark green intaglio on a cream ground, enclosed within a scrolled ornamental border. A large panoramic vignette occupies the central field, illustrating the siege of the Fortress of Jülich in 1610 by Duke Moritz of Orange, with armoured soldiers, cavalry, and artillery in the foreground and a bird's-eye view of the fortified town receding into the background. To the right, a separate panel bears the city's heraldic lion rampant above a crenellated tower, with the numeral '25' in a hexagonal cartouche beneath. The printer's imprint 'Carl Schleicher & Schüll Duren' appears below the central vignette. |
