Obverse description The obverse is printed in dark green and black on a fine cross-hatched underprint, framed by a decorative rectangular border with corner ornaments and vertical marginal text running along all four sides. Two circular vignettes at left and right each bear the numeral '25' with a Pfennig symbol. The central field carries a letterpress text block announcing payment by the Stadthauptkasse in Zobten am Berge, with the denomination spelled out in Gothic blackletter script as 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennig'; the date 'Zobten a. Berge, den 25 Okt. 1919' and the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat' appear below, accompanied by two manuscript signatures. To the lower left is a vignette of an equestrian monument on a stone plinth, and to the lower right the town's heraldic shield bearing a pilgrim figure.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in dark green on the same cross-hatched underprint, with a bold decorative frame incorporating vertical ornamental columns at left and right, each repeated with the numeral '25 Pf' in stacked sequence. The upper register bears the town name 'Zobten am Berge' in large Gothic blackletter between two flanking '25 Pf' circular medallions. The central vignette is a finely engraved panoramic view of the town of Zobten am Berge, with a prominent church spire, clustered rooftops, and the distinctive Zobten hill rising in the background. A rectangular cartouche along the lower edge carries the denomination legend 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennige', with short aphoristic marginal texts printed vertically on each side.
