In the center of the reverse is St. George above the coat of arms of, from left to right, Münden, Prussia(?), and Osterode, two neighboring cities to Göttingen.

The city of Goslar has a very strong history, even being honored as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, included is the Rammelsberg silver mine which was in continuous operation for over 1000 years. This silver mine allowed for Goslar to mint their own coinage during the 12th and 13th centuries.

This note echoes the famous Paderborn donkey by featuring the Dukatenmännchen (Little ducat man), in celebration of Goslar's 1000 year anniversary. Built in 1484, the Dukatenmännchen adorns the Kaiserworth Guildhall, a medieval cloth merchants' guild. The building was a trophy of the merchants' wealth and was adorned with guiding and statues of regal figures. The Dukatenmännchen shows a grizzly looking figure defecating gold coins, a rather unique motif of the building.
