| Reverse description | The central vignette depicts a rural landscape engraving captioned "Wassermühlen", with a large windmill in the foreground and a second mill visible in the distance amid trees and low-lying marshland typical of the Holstein region. A bull's head vignette is set in a framed panel at the upper left and a horse's head in a matching panel at the upper right, reflecting the agricultural character of the area. A serial number panel appears at the top centre, denomination counters "25 PFG." are placed in the lower corners, and a validity/redemption clause in German text occupies the lower centre, with the printer's imprint "THEODOR GRIES, HAMBURG 36" along the bottom edge. |
