Reverse description The reverse carries a full-colour illustrative vignette in a naive folk-art style, portraying a historical witch-trial scene set in Neustettin: an agitated crowd with raised arms and weapons confronts a group of sober-faced judges or officials in period ruffs and robes. The denomination '50' with the 'Pf.' symbol appears at the upper centre above the scene. A decorative scroll banner along the lower edge bears a four-line rhyming verse in German referencing witchcraft and the burning of witches in Neustettin.
Reverse lettering 50 Pf.
Durch bösen Spruch und Zauberwesen,
Ist Neustettin in Not gewesen.
Das Volk kam schreiend zum Richter gerannt,
Helft uns! daß die Hexen werden verbrannt.
