| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a finely detailed landscape vignette enclosed within a ruled border, executed in brown in the manner of an old topographical engraving, showing a flat rural scene outside the Mondpoort gate of Kalkar, with a windmill at right, a church tower at left, figures and cattle in the foreground, and a dramatic cloudscape above. Above the vignette, the denomination '50 Pf. Notgeld der Stadt Calcar. Pf. 50' is printed in large red numerals and black script lettering. Below the vignette, the caption 'Gezigt buyten de Mondpoort te KALKER' appears in cursive script, flanked by the mottos 'Achtet das Alte,' and 'Fördert das Neue!' |
