Reverse description The reverse carries a dramatic silhouette vignette of the Hermannsdenkmal monument atop the Teutoburg Forest hill, with radiating rays of light emanating from the summit where warriors stand in profile. Flanking the central scene are vertical decorative borders incorporating stylised weapons and foliage in olive and red tones, with "50 Pfg." in red on shield cartouches at left and right. A four-line verse in Gothic script runs along both the upper and lower borders, referencing the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
Reverse lettering WEH: DAS WAR EIN GROSSES MORDEN · SIE ERSCHLUGEN DIE KOHORTEN · NUR DIE ROM'SCHE REITEREI RETTETE SICH IN DAS FREI · DENN SIE WAR ZU PFERDE·
