| Reverse description | Central vignette presents an open illuminated book rendered in a medievalising woodcut style, its pages bearing the full commemorative verse text in red-ruled Gothic Fraktur script. Flanking the book on either side are tall decorative panels in black and pale green, each with a stylised hanging tassel or pine-cone motif with red dot accents. The header reads 'Stadt Glogau' in elaborate Gothic lettering between two '50' numerals in red, while the footer carries 'Gut für Fünfzig Pfennig' in large Fraktur, also flanked by '50' denomination numerals. The designer's signature 'HEINZ · SCHIESTL' appears at lower right of the vignette. |
