| Reverse description | A full-width silhouette vignette in black occupies the central field, showing a crouching armed figure raising a sword between two trees against a light sky, with a hilltop castle visible in the distance at right and a green landscape along the lower border. The denomination numeral 50 appears in large white outline figures at lower left within the vignette frame. Gothic script inscriptions run along the upper and lower borders of the design, forming a two-part verse relating to the robber's life theme. |
