| Reverse description | Octagonal reverse with a pearl border running along the inner edge of the coin's eight sides, enclosing a five-line inscription in Fraktur blackletter script that fills the entire field. The text details the redemption conditions for this wartime emergency token, stating that it is redeemable at the municipal treasury of St. Avold no later than two months after the conclusion of peace. A circular suspension hole is visible at the top, consistent with the obverse. The flat, unadorned field and Fraktur lettering are typical of German Kriegsgeld (war money) issues of 1917. |
