| Reverse description | The reverse carries three adjoining vignettes within a red-bordered frame: a half-length portrait of the German poet August Heinrich Hoffmann von Fallersleben at centre, flanked on the left by a view of Schloss Corvey and on the right by a further view of Corvey, each labelled accordingly. A multiline inscription below the vignettes records his service as librarian to Duke Viktor von Ratibor at Corvey from 1860 until his death on 19 January 1874. The lower border bears the denomination '50' at each corner and the legend 'Deutschland, Deutschland über alles', a reference to the poet's most celebrated work. The designer's signature 'Friedrichs Köhn' appears in small script at the lower left margin. |
