| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large circular denomination cartouche inscribed '5 fr.' at left, set against a finely engraved intaglio vignette of a reclining river-god figure holding a bunch of grapes, positioned before a panoramic view of a Rhenish city seen across a broad river with steamboats. The composition is framed by the same ornate red letterpress border as the obverse, with bilingual anti-counterfeiting text in French and German occupying the upper portion. The engraver's and designer's credits appear in the lower margins. |
