| Reverse description | A gaunt, emaciated seated figure with long hair, rendered in high relief, is shown cross-legged above a prostrate deceased female figure lying horizontally across the lower field, powerfully evoking the suffering and starvation endured by the population of Przemysl during the Russian siege. The legend 'PRZE MYSL' arcs across the upper field and 'MÄRZ 1915' appears in the lower exergue. |
