背面描述	A detailed depiction of the three-masted sailing barque Gorch Fock under full sail occupies the central field, shown in profile sailing on stylized waves rendered in fine relief. The ship's rigging, sails, and hull are rendered with careful engraving detail. The name 'GORCH FOCK' appears within a ribbon banner arching across the upper field. In the lower portion, a second scroll banner displays the dates '1958-2000' flanked by five-pointed stars, commemorating the vessel's years of service.

附加信息	The Gorch Fock is a three-masted barque built in 1958 for the West German Federal Navy, named after the pen name of Johann Kinau, a sailor-poet who died at the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Togo's issuance of a coin honoring a German naval training vessel has nothing to do with any historical or political connection between the two countries — it reflects instead the booming late-1990s market for foreign-licensed collector pieces, where small African nations with CFA franc ties leased their minting authority to European distributors targeting the German commemorative coin market.
