Reverse description The reverse carries a detailed historical vignette rendered in a woodcut-like illustrative style printed in dark ink over a violet-purple underprint, centred on a bird's-eye view of Schloss Traun as it appeared circa 1600, with its multi-storey towers, onion domes, and ancillary buildings. To the left foreground stands a male figure in period dress beside a wheeled artillery cannon, while to the right a robed female figure is visible among foliage, evoking the castle's martial and historical character. Denomination roundels bearing the numeral 80 appear in the upper left and upper right corners, and the legend SCHLOSS TRAUN UM 1600 is inscribed across the upper margin; a continuous zigzag ornamental border frames the composition.
