| Reverse description | The reverse is divided into a symmetrical grid of panels with bold scroll-work borders. The top register carries three titled panels: 'Anno 1287' at left, 'Hieronymus v. Münchhausen Abenteuer' at centre, and '1720–1920' at right. The central vignette, printed on a yellow ground, shows Baron Münchhausen pulling himself from a swamp by his own pigtail while mounted on a white horse amid reeds, rendered in a vigorous illustrative style. Flanking the central scene are two heraldic shields: the town arms of Bodenwerder at left and a smaller cartouche at right, both set within elaborate scroll surrounds. The lower register features the denomination '25' in large yellow numerals at each corner, with a four-line German verse in the central panel. |
