| Obverse description | A donkey in high relief stands hesitantly in the field, head lowered toward a hay bale at left, flanked by two flags — one bearing an eagle (German) to the left and one to the right, referencing Buridan's paradox of indecision. The curved legend appears along the upper rim, with the designer's name and date in the lower exergue. A small monogram is visible in the lower left field. |
