| Reverse description | Printed in reddish-brown on pale cream paper, the reverse presents a central rectangular vignette with a detailed topographic view of the Luisenplatz in Darmstadt, dominated by the tall Ludwig Column (Ludwigssäule) rising above surrounding civic buildings and tree-lined streets. The numeral '50' appears in bold at the left and right flanks of the vignette, set against an ornate side border of repeated floral and heraldic guilloche patterns incorporating the text 'STADT DARMSTADT 1917'. The printer's imprint 'Carl Schleicher & Schüll Duren' is printed in small type at the bottom margin below the central border. |
