STADTANSICHT UM 1600
Dieser Schein verliert seine Gültigkeit, wenn er nicht einen Monat nach erfolgter öffentl. Aufforderung in der hiesigen Zeitung eingelöst wird. Wildeshausen i. O., 1. Des. 1921 Magistrat Stadtrat
Reverse description The reverse is printed on a green mottled background with small folkloric figure vignettes scattered in the corners and margins. At centre, a cartouche with a jagged decorative red-and-black border encloses a scene of the Wildeshausen Schützenfest: a line of riflemen's guild members in green uniforms and black hats stands at attention beside a standard-bearer, while a woman in a white dress approaches carrying flowers, referencing the ceremonial crowning of the Schützenkönig. A four-line verse in Low German Fraktur script is inscribed above the figures within the cartouche.
Reverse lettering Wenn uck de Monarchie verschwund
Hier bleew se doch bitt dille Stund
Schützenkönig ward hoch ehrt,
Aß jo hier ditt Bild all lehrt.
