| Obverse description | At center, the German imperial eagle displayed on a heraldic shield occupies the inner field, rendered in bold relief with wings spread and talons extended. The shield is set within a beaded inner circle, flanked on either side by oak leaf sprigs — traditional symbols of German national identity. The mint mark appears above the shield within a small arch. The circular legend is divided between upper and lower registers, reading DEUTSCHES REICH above and DREI REICHSMARK below, separated by the flanking oak sprigs. |

| 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.
