| Obverse description | Two male figures in relief facing each other, sawing a plank of wood on a trestle, with wood shavings falling into a kneading trough below, satirically illustrating the adulteration of flour with sawdust (Mehlstreckung). A pretzel in relief appears at the top of the field, and two open manacle cuffs connected by a chain are depicted in the lower field, flanking the legend. |
