| Reverse description | Multicolour reverse on a turquoise ground with a pink outer border. The central vignette presents a large landscape scene in green, yellow and black showing a steam locomotive approaching head-on along a twin-track railway cutting through forested hills — a reference to the famous Schiefe Ebene (Inclined Plane) railway gradient near Marktschorgast. Vertical side panels in turquoise carry caduceus ornaments in yellow and pink, with circular '50' denomination roundels at each corner. The place name 'Schiefe Ebene' is inscribed in yellow Gothic script along the lower panel. |
