The reverse is plain, with the raised trademark of Meissen Porcelain in the center.

The plaque comes in its original fitted presentation box, also marked with the crossed swords of Meissen Porcelain on the lid. The box is in sturdy cardboard finished in red imitation-leather textured paper on the outside. The lid is lined in padded gold-colored silk; the fitted space is finished in short-pile synthetic velvet. The box manufacturer's mark is embossed in the corner on the bottom of the box.

The plaque is in mint condition, showing no wear of any kind. The box is also in excellent condition: structurally sound and showing minimal wear to the paper along the edges and at the corners.
