| Reverse description | A clenched fist grasping a large coin in high relief occupies the center of the field, with a money bag visible to the right, its neck tied with a cord. The satirical German legend encircles the design, referencing the exchange of bribes. The image and inscription together form a pointed commentary on official corruption. |
