| Obverse description | Central cartouche in the form of a heraldic shield bearing the figure of an armored warrior, flanked by two shield-supporters. The city name STADT ZWIESEL is divided by the central device, with the date 1918 appearing above. The patriotic slogans EISERNE FRONT and EISERNE HEIMAT ('Iron Front, Iron Homeland') are inscribed in the legend, reflecting the wartime Notgeld context. The overall design is rendered in a bold, low-relief style typical of World War I German emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '20' occupies the central field in bold raised relief, denoting the denomination in Pfennig. The circular legend KRIEGSNOTGELD ('war emergency money') runs around the periphery, read from the bottom upward on both sides, with a six-pointed star positioned at the base between the two ends of the legend. A continuous inner ring of raised dots forms a pearl border separating the legend from the central denomination. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with the emergency coinage production standards of World War I Bavaria. |
