Reverse description A dynamic figure of a witch, depicted in full stride with flowing hair and robes, riding a broomstick across the field, referencing the Walpurgis Night legends of the Harz Mountains. The witch figure is set entirely within a large horseshoe, open at the base, which frames the central motif as a good-luck symbol closely associated with the region's folklore. The composition is contained within a plain raised border, and the field is unlettered, allowing the folkloric imagery to dominate the design. The relief is bold and expressively rendered in a style typical of German Notgeld coinage of the early 1920s.
