Reverse description The reverse presents a central allegorical composition featuring two nude figures, one male and one female, flanking a large Westerwald stoneware jug or Krug — a direct reference to the renowned pottery and ceramic industry of the Höhr region. The jug is depicted with a hinged lid and handle, resting on a decorated base, with a sunflower or rosette motif visible on its body. The date '1921' is incised in the lower central field between the two figures. The design is enclosed within the same reeded border as the obverse, and the overall relief is characteristic of pressed porcelain Notgeld craftsmanship.
