| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark blue and ochre on a pale salmon ground, its border formed by a continuous decorative chain motif incorporating the denomination numerals '50' at the corners, with the word 'FÜNFZIG' repeated vertically on both lateral panels. The central vignette presents a dramatic battle scene rendered in an expressionist woodcut style, illustrating the medieval Battle of Frohse of 10 October 1278, with mounted knights and foot soldiers in fierce combat across a snow-covered landscape. Above the scene the legend 'SCHLACHT BEI FROHSE / 10/1. 1278' is set in bold letterpress, accompanied by a caption scroll in Gothic script, while 'STADT-FROHSE' appears in large capitals along the bottom panel; the printer's imprint 'FABER, MAGDEBURG.' is present at lower left. |
