| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark green, rose, and black with an elaborate acanthus-leaf and thistle floral border enclosing a central rectangular vignette in the style of a woodcut or engraving. The scene depicts a standing female figure in rural dress accompanied by livestock — a dog at her feet and a goat to her right — in a pastoral landscape with trees and a distant figure on horseback, evoking an illustration from Goethe's epic poem 'Hermann und Dorothea'. No denomination or text appears on this side. |
