Reverse description The reverse presents a large, finely modeled bust of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe in right-facing profile, occupying the central field in high relief. The portrait depicts the poet in late 18th-century dress, with characteristic flowing hair tied at the nape, rendered in a neoclassical style befitting his era. The circular legend '·JOHANN WOLFGANG VON GOETHE·' arcs along the upper periphery, while the dates '· 1749 - 1832 ·' denoting his birth and death years appear at the base of the legend, completing the border inscription. The portrait is attributed to engraver Hubert Klinkel and commemorates the 150th anniversary of Goethe's death.
