Reverse description The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette rendered as a bold black silhouette composition on a pale ground, showing the Germanic chieftain Arminius (Hermann) in a battlefield scene amid scattered weapons and fallen soldiers, framed by a rectangular border. Vertical side panels in grey-green carry stacked weaponry motifs, with the denomination "50" printed in white on red shield cartouches at left and right. Two-line verses in capital Roman lettering run across the top and bottom margins, alluding to the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, reflecting the regional patriotic Notgeld tradition.
