# Die 9. Kriegsanleihe! Deutschland hat ewigen Bestand (The 9th War Loan! Germany Has Eternal Existence)

A farmer with a scythe stands in a harvest field under a rainbow, with a town and sheaves behind him. The rhyme above the bank's subscription address claims that Germany has 'eternal existence' and is a 'kerngesund' (thoroughly sound) country: virtue words standing in for any figure on the state of the war economy in autumn 1918.
