Collector's mark: none.
Inscription: Recto: lower left, grey ink, written over graphite, and with another word (possibly the same word) written below in graphite, now hidden beneath the mount border: "Auberi" or "Aubenz" [Seilern thought the word written below was "Rubenz" but it clearly looks to be the same word repeated as above]; lower right corner, graphite: "151" [Seilern misread this as "181"].
