| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black with a green oval underprint on a pale buff ground. The central field is occupied by a large allegorical scene in an expressive Jugendstil idiom, enclosed within elaborate scrolling floral borders: a robed figure tends to a recumbent wounded or dying man, with a horse visible in the middle ground and a vessel at lower right. A cartouche at the base of the note bears a Goethe quotation in green letterpress. A designer's signature appears at the lower right corner. |
