| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in a multicolour letterpress style on a yellow-ochre ground with a dark outer border. At upper left the denomination "50 Pfg." appears in bold, while a scrolled ribbon across the top carries a four-line rhyming verse in red and black Gothic script praising Königsee's famous herbal trade. The central vignette, set within a decorative oval cartouche in red and gold, presents a detailed view of the Rathaus (town hall), labelled below; to the left, a folkloric gnome-like figure in coloured costume strides forward carrying herbs and berries, accompanied by a bottle labelled "Hien-Fong-Essenz / Alleinechtes", referencing the local herbal essence industry. Coniferous trees fill the right margin. |
