| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse carries a central vignette of two horses and their handlers flanking a barrel marked 'TINTE', set against a guilloche underprint with repeated 'NOTGELD DER STADT NIEDERLAHNSTEIN' inscriptions. The denomination '25 PFENNIG' is printed in bold letterpress at centre-right, above the issuing authority 'STADT NIEDERLAHNSTEIN' and the war-year date 'KRIEGSJAHR 1917', with the heading 'Gutschein über' above. A text block at lower centre states the redemption conditions signed by the Magistrat, dated Niederlahnstein, 1. Mai 1917, with a manuscript signature below; a thorny vine border frames the entire design. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse presents a large central vignette of a uniformed World War I soldier in steel helmet shaking hands with a bearded civilian worker in an apron, with a ruined landscape and industrial smokestacks in the background, the scene conveying the wartime solidarity between front and home front. A laurel-branch border runs along all four sides over the same repeated guilloche underprint. At the foot, a rectangular panel carries the denomination and issuer legends in bold letterpress, with a red vertically-printed serial number at the left margin. |

Niederlahnstein issued this note in 1917 as part of the first major wave of German municipal Kleingeldersatz — small-change substitutes — that flooded circulation after metal coinage effectively disappeared from everyday commerce in the second year of the war. The Reichsbank had hoarded silver and copper for the war effort, and by 1917 even the Zink and iron replacements were becoming scarce. Towns acted unilaterally.
Niederlahnstein sat at the confluence of the Lahn and Rhine, a strategically significant rail junction, which likely accelerated local cash shortages relative to quieter municipalities.
