| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a finely executed letterpress vignette of a massive ancient oak tree from the Reinhardswald primeval forest near Sababurg, rendered in black line work over a warm ochre horizontal-rule background. Denomination numerals "25" in red appear in boxed cartouches at the upper left and upper right corners. At the foot of the design, a framed text panel carries a three-line inscription in Gothic script referencing the oak tree and noting its trunk circumference of 9 metres. |
