| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in rust-red and blue on white paper in an Expressionist woodcut-like style, centring on a vignette of the Pied Piper of Hamelin ('Der Rattenfänger') striding forward while grasping two burghers by the hands, with a crowd of children visible in the background against a stylised townscape. Denomination roundels bearing '50 Pf.' appear in the upper corners, and two rats are rendered in the lower margin flanking a central '50 Pf.' cartouche. Curved inscriptions at left and right read 'FORDERT SEINEN LOHN' and 'VOM MAGISTRAT', completing the thematic narrative. |
