The denomination FÜNFUNDZWANZIG PFENNIG appears in bold Gothic type across the upper portion, with a red serial number above and the issuing authority text, date of 18 Oktober 1919, and the Oberbürgermeister's manuscript signature in the centre field. A vertical marginal inscription reads GÜLTIG BIS ZUM AUFRUF. |

| Reverse description | Printed in violet-blue on a pale ground, the reverse centres on an oval guilloche medallion bearing the numeral 25, set within an elaborate lozenge-shaped frame of interlocking rocaille and snowflake ornaments. The entire field carries a repetitive underprint of the text STADT DUISBURG 1917 arranged in uniform rows, serving as the primary anti-counterfeiting device. |
