| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large woodcut-style silhouette vignette occupying the central field, portraying a horned Germanic warrior striding through a forest — an allusion to the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest and the Arminius legend associated with the Detmold region. Flanking the central scene are two red shield cartouches each inscribed '50', surrounded by decorative stacks of arms and trophies rendered in a linear Art Nouveau manner. Poetic verses in Gothic letterpress run in two bands across the top and bottom borders. |
