Obverse: A Jew with open arms sitting on a pile of grain, and the antisemitic caption: 'If a Jew or a Christian, who benefits?' The year 1923 and the designer's acronyms: F.H. [Fritz Hoernlein].

Reverse: The antisemitic caption: "In bad times, no doubt, man, often for the other - the devil".

Same diameter: 38 mm. Good condition.
