Reverse description Black letterpress on cream paper within a rectangular inner frame, the lateral margins filled with decorative oak-branch borders bearing acorns. The central vignette presents a landscape scene of a tall cylindrical column monument set among trees, referencing the burial site of Prussian Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher ('Marschall Vorwärts'). A two-line poetic inscription in German runs below the vignette, flanked on each side by the denomination numeral '50'.
