| Reverse description | The central panel carries a dramatic twilight vignette of the Lange Anna (Nathürn) sea stack off Helgoland, rendered in deep blue-green and black silhouette, with a small sailing vessel on the calm water below and the setting sun reflected on the surface. Flanking side panels, bordered in red, each present a naturalistic illustration of a northern gannet or guillemot amid coastal vegetation. The numeral '25' appears in decorative green cartouches at upper left and right. A four-line inscription in the Helgolandic Frisian dialect occupies the upper register, and the island name is lettered in large ornamental Gothic script on a scroll banner at the base. |
