| Reverse description | The central vignette presents an intaglio engraving of the Holstentor (Holstein Gate) in Lübeck, the medieval double-towered brick gatehouse with its arched passage bearing the inscription "CONCORDIA DOMI FORIS PAX", framed by foliage and set against a radiating guilloche background. To the left, the denomination "50" is enclosed within a scalloped rosette underprint, while to the right a circular Deutsche Bundesbank eagle seal is set within a starburst guilloche medallion. The numeral "50" also appears in the upper corners and lower right, with the anti-counterfeiting warning text printed in a vertical column at the far right margin. |
