Reverse description The reverse carries a humorous caricature vignette in a colourful woodcut style, showing two comic figures — one in a tall top hat — seated outdoors amid trees and engaged in an animated exchange, with an umbrella and a walking stick visible at either side. A large decorative scroll banner across the lower half bears a four-line verse in Low German dialect. Denomination '25 Pg.' appears at lower left and lower right within ruled panels, and the four margins are again filled with Low German dialect text printed in opposing orientations.
Reverse lettering Tausamen kehm dei Magistrat
Un denn müed' gollen langen Rot
Vi drukt uns Geld, denn is wat dor
Tauletzt Gunn keen is dat Alor.
Diss Gauners könnt sich nich beklagen,
Sei bröoken in bi Fritz Bollhagen,
In Grabow kiekt, wat em Gefrägt,
In echt Bollhagen'sch Päpernät!
25 Pg.
