| Reverse description | Orange and blue-grey reverse centred on a humorous caricature vignette of a large toad seated on mudflats, a fortified castle crown atop its head, with a milk bottle labelled 'MILCH' before it and a pear labelled 'Obst' at its side, alluding to the agricultural produce of these Elbe island communities. A steamship appears to the left and a sailing vessel to the right against a stylised river horizon, while diamond-shaped panels in the upper corners each carry '50 Pfg' in white on blue. A decorative border panel at the foot contains a Low German satirical verse in Gothic blackletter script. |
