| Obverse description | Expressionist woodcut-style composition in three vertical panels: the left panel carries a bold colour vignette of Erfurt cathedral architecture with soaring Gothic spires rendered in ochre, red, and blue; the central panel bears the large black denomination numeral '25' over 'Pfennig' on a yellow ground, below which a Gothic-script text block states the legal tender conditions, all within a red and black border carrying the legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Erfurt'. The lower margin records the date 'Erfurt, den 9. April 1920', a serial number, an ornamental device, and a manuscript signature above the printer's imprint 'OTTO RICHTERS U. CO. ERFURT'. |

| Reverse description | Expressionist colour vignette by Alfred Hanf occupying the central field, presenting a street-level view of the Krämerbrücke with the tower of the Aegidienkirche rising above densely packed half-timbered and rendered merchant houses in vivid yellow, red, and teal tones. Flanking side panels each carry the black denomination '25 / Pfennig' on yellow grounds above red panels inscribed in Gothic blackletter, 'Erfurter Notgeld' at left and 'Krämer Brücke und Aegidien Kirche' at right. Decorative blue medallions bearing a wheel device appear at the lower corners, and the artist's signature 'Alfred Hanf' is present in the lower margin. |
