| Reverse description | A woodcut-style vignette in the manner of a 16th-century German broadsheet illustration occupies the central field, showing three male figures in period dress beneath a large tree from which a hangman's noose is suspended. An armoured soldier at left gestures toward a bound or restrained figure at centre, while a third figure at right raises his hands; a deer or goat appears at lower centre. Vertical columns of Gothic blackletter verse text flank the scene on both left and right margins, and the series number '5' appears at lower centre within the vignette border. |
| Reverse lettering | Für Frevler gab's sonst böse Zeiten, Die merlich sich von jetzt scheiden, Wird jetzt der Dieb in Pfleg gesetzt Einst wurde er zu Tod gehetzt |
