| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large heraldic shield bearing the combined coat of arms of Meissen: a crenellated tower on the left impaled with a rampant lion on the right, representing the city arms, overlaid with two smaller shields at the base showing the crossed swords of the Meissen porcelain mark and the barry arms of Saxony.
