Der Magistrat
Reverse description Multicolour lithographed composition centred on a vignette of the enthroned Virgin Mary crowned with a halo, holding the Christ Child on her lap — a reference to Wartha's status as a Silesian Marian pilgrimage town. The letters "MUTTER MARIA" are arranged vertically along the left and right borders in large red gothic script, framed by decorative architectural pillars. A dark banner at the base carries the inscription "Notgeld der Schlesischen Wallfahrtsstadt Wartha" on a teal ground, with the printer's imprint below.
