| Reverse description | Vibrant multicolour vignette in an Expressionist illustrative style, portraying stylised figures — including a Chinese merchant, an African trader, and a fur-clad Siberian — gathered around a heap of gold coins and trade goods. A Low German verse runs in Gothic script along the upper border, alluding to barter currencies across Africa, Siberia, and China. The denomination appears in large octagonal cartouches at lower left and right. |
