| Reverse description | The large numerals '75' dominate the upper field in black with red highlights, overlaid with the date '1634' in red — referencing the year Oberammergau first staged its Passion Play following the plague. A crowned skeleton in the Dance of Death tradition strides across a panoramic vignette of the Alpine town of Oberammergau, rendered in fine line engraving with mountains and church spire visible in the background. The issuer name 'Ober-Ammergau' with a small heraldic device appears in red and black Gothic lettering along the lower margin. |
