| Reverse description | The reverse is arranged in three vertical panels framed by a dark green outer border. The left and right panels contain dense Gothic blackletter text in red-ruled columns describing carved figures on the eight pillars of the Lutherkirche zu Insterburg, referencing sculptor Isaak Awald of Königsberg (1644) and a painted portrait by Michael Zeigermann (1653). The central panel presents an elaborate baroque architectural vignette of a pulpit or monument surmounted by a column, with a central oval medallion in a dark crosshatched field enclosed by an ornate gilt cartouche bearing a cherub at the top and a grotesque mask at the base, encircled by a cursive biblical inscription; denomination cartouches reading '3 Mark' on scroll banners appear at upper left and right. The registration number 'D.R.G.M. 795679' is printed in small type beneath the lower border. |
