| Reverse description | The reverse carries a triptych silhouette vignette in black against a cream ground, illustrating a local legend of the Geldern dragon: the left panel shows fleeing animals including a wolf and sheep, the central panel presents a rearing dragon in dramatic silhouette, and the right panel depicts a figure atop a tower. The vignette is flanked on each side by a yellow shield bearing the numeral 75 in Gothic script, set within foliate green ornamental cartouches with stylised dragon-head corner pieces. Dialect verses in Low Rhenish script appear in teal banners above and below the central scene. |
