| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black, grey, and ochre tones on cream paper, with a dark background dominated by a dramatic diagonal vignette of an armoured knight striding at midnight, sword drawn, rendered in a bold Expressionist woodcut style. A scroll cartouche at upper left bears the denomination '50 Pfg.' in large numerals, while a banderole across the upper field carries a four-line Low German verse in Gothic script. Small stylised plant forms occupy the lower foreground, and a monogrammatic artist's mark appears at lower left. |
