| Obverse description | A courtroom vignette occupies the central field, with defendants standing before seated judges; flanking money sacks each marked "10000" allude to the corruption of justice. The denomination "25 Pfg." appears in bold numerals at lower left and right against a blue ground. At the foot, the imprint reads: Meinders & Elstermann, Osnabrück. |
