| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red, black, and brown, centred on a vignette titled Der Melser Markt, showing two medieval-costumed figures conducting a livestock transaction with three pigs in the foreground, the Hohenmölsen church silhouette visible in the background. The denomination 50 PFG. appears in large bold numerals within red panels at each upper corner, flanked by decorative borders of teardrop ornaments and red dots; a heraldic shield with an axe motif is placed at the lower right. Quatrain inscriptions referencing historical market regulations of Anno 1300 and Anno 1450 fill the left and right side panels, with a rhyming couplet about Mölser Milbenkäse running across the bottom margin. |
