| Reverse description | A stylized eagle rendered in a bold Art Deco manner stands in profile facing left, perched upon a horizontal bar or bridge-like element that divides the date 1930 in two numerals on either side beneath its feet. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle against a plain, polished field. The surrounding legend, partially inverted at the base in an arc, reads DER RHEIN DEUTSCHLANDS STROM · NICHT DEUTSCHLANDS GRENZE · 1930, commemorating the evacuation of Allied forces from the Rhineland and asserting the Rhine as Germany's river, not its border. |

| Additional information |
Struck to commemorate the early withdrawal of Allied occupation forces from the Rhineland in June 1930 — five years ahead of the Versailles Treaty schedule, secured through the Young Plan negotiations of 1929. The evacuation was a diplomatic victory for Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann, though he died in October 1929 and never saw it completed.
The .500 fineness was a cost-driven compromise adopted broadly for Weimar commemoratives after 1924, reflecting ongoing fiscal constraint rather than any specific policy tied to this issue.
