| Reverse description | Green and black letterpress design within the same diamond-pattern border as the obverse. A large vignette at centre presents a line-engraved view of the Bialla town hall with its distinctive onion-domed tower, flanked by trees; the numeral '25' in bold Gothic script overlays the upper-left portion of the vignette. Two text panels in blackletter frame the central image: a four-line verse at the top referencing Bialla as a German town, and a historical prose passage at the bottom recounting events of August 1914 and the plebiscite of 11 July 1920. |
