Obverse
Topless woman holding several money bags to her breast as if to suckle
Lettering:
zahle gegen diesen scheck aus guthaben an uns oder uberbringer
dich lieben wir börse vielmehr als die verse
Translation:
use this check to make a credit to us or the carrier
we love you stock exchange much more than the verses
Reverse
Naked figures dancing in a shower of paper money pouring out of a suspended man's pockets around a Golden calf atop a pillar. Two people seem passed out (or dead) laying against sacks with Imperial eagle upon them.
Lettering:
2. ich hatte einst ein schönes Vaterland! Wer wollte noch mit Stolz von Deutschland sprechen. Der Gram will mir dasherz die Adern brechen. Ich Iehn der grauen Kopf an freinde Wand, fass meines Kindes hand. Wir hatten einst ein schönes Vaterland!
Streben lasst uns, immerzu steben, starker und reiner, Jede Minute, die wir leben, fallt draussen einer. Jede minute die wie nich nutzen wird uns zum Klager, Dankbar denkt derer, die unsbeschutzen als Bannertrager.
Wenn die Menschen aller Sorten tanzen um die goldnen kalber, halte fest du hast am Ende doch vom Leben nur dich selber
Translation:
2. I once had a beautiful fatherland! Who wanted to speak of Germany with pride? Grief wants to break my heart's veins. I put my gray head on a free wall, take my child's hand. We once had a beautiful fatherland!
Let us strive, keep dying, stronger and purer, Every minute that we live someone falls outside. Every minute that we don't use becomes a complaint, think gratefully of those who protect us as standard bearers.
When people of all kinds dance around the golden calves, hold on tight, in the end you only get yourself out of life.
