Reverse description The reverse carries a central vignette in brick-red and black depicting the Gothic market chapel (Kapelle) of Pölitz set against flanking townhouse facades, with silhouetted trees to either side. The scene is identified by the inscriptions 'KAPELLE MARKT-PLATZ PÖLITZ' to the right and 'RANDOW-LIED V. 3' to the left. Below the vignette, four lines of a local verse ('Randow-Lied', stanza 3) are rendered in Gothic blackletter script, attributed 'F.F.H.'. The designer's name 'H. SCHUBERT' and the printer's imprint 'M. BAUCHWITZ, STETTIN' appear in the lower margin. A decorative floral guilloche border frames the entire composition.
