The denomination '25' appears in large numerals at each of the four corners, with the date '2·4·1922' and facsimile Stadtrat signatures at lower right. Continuous inscriptions in varying scripts run along all four borders, forming an integral decorative frame with scalloped inner edges. |

| Descrizione del rovescio | The reverse, likewise printed on silk in orange, green, and dark blue, is dominated by a large central sun motif with pointed rays, bearing the inscription 'MARKT 25' in bold numerals within the disc. Sweeping calligraphic lettering in green fills the field around the sun, interspersed with small athletic figures and star ornaments at the corners.

GUNDLACH A·G BIELEFELD' and legal notice 'GESETZLICH GESCHÜTZT D.G.M.' at the foot. |

Bielefeld's silk Notgeld issues of 1921–1923 are among the most technically unusual emergency currency produced anywhere in Germany during the inflation period. The Stadtsparkasse commissioned E. Gundlach — a local textile and printing firm — to produce notes on actual woven silk, a deliberate choice rooted in the theory that material-backed currency would hold public confidence better than paper. Whether it did is debatable, but the silk substrate gave these notes a durability that most Weimar-era Notgeld never achieved.
Gundlach also produced linen issues for Bielefeld, and the two series are sometimes conflated by collectors. Silk examples show a distinctly finer weave when examined under magnification.
