| Reverse description | Black letterpress on pale buff paper with a pink-brown guilloche underprint, the border treatment matching the obverse with Gothic 'Landkreis Crefeld' at the top and ornamental hatched side panels. The central vignette, signed 'Schwarzkopf' along its lower edge, presents a woodcut-style rural scene in which a farmer guides a plough drawn by a heavy horse across a field, with factory chimneys and a rising sun visible in the background. Below the vignette, a dark panel carries the numeral '5,000,000' with decorative separators, and beneath the frame runs the legend 'AUSGEGEBEN AUF GRUND DER ERMÄCHTIGUNG DES REICHSFINANZMINISTERIUMS'. |
