To the right, a horn alludes to the celebrated anthology "Des Knaben Wunderhorn", co-published by her brother Clemens von Brentano and her husband Achim von Arnim. The denomination and issuer inscription appear in letterpress across the upper and lower margins against a multicoloured guilloche underprint. |

The denomination inscription and ornamental guilloche underprint complete the design. |
