| Reverse description | The reverse carries a lively puppet-theatre vignette set within a stage arch rendered in dark green and black, with red accents. The central scene — Panel D of the Sonneberg Puppetry series — shows a jack-in-the-box springing from its crate to confront a skeleton figure wielding a knife, while a Kasperl puppet tumbles in the foreground, all executed in an expressionistic woodcut-like style. The denomination "50" appears in red in both upper corners, flanked by "Pfg" at lower left and right, and the series letter "D" is placed at the top centre between the inscriptions "Im Muster" and "Zimmer". |
| Reverse lettering | Im Muster D Zimmer 50 Pfg A Springkastla kracht a noch auf. Jetzt rasselts mitn Gabel drauf. (Translation: In the Model Room D / 50 Pfennig / A Jack-in-the-box pops up again. Now it's rattling with a fork.) |
