| Obverse description | Yellow-ochre note printed on paper with an overall geometric guilloche underprint of interlocking circular motifs. The municipal coat of arms of Guben — a heraldic shield charged with a twin-towered gateway surmounted by a crown — is centred on the face, flanked by large bold denomination numerals '25 Pf' in black letterpress; the heading 'Notgeld der Stadt Guben' runs across the top in Gothic blackletter script. The lower half carries the issue date 'Guben, den 1. Mai 1920', the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', two facsimile manuscript signatures, the series designation 'Reihe I', a red serial number, a small-type redemption clause, and the printer's imprint at foot. |

| Reverse description | Printed in black on plain cream paper, the reverse carries a finely engraved townscape vignette of the Guben market square, with a prominent clock tower at left, a Gothic memorial spire at centre, and a large church with a square tower at right, pedestrian figures animating the foreground. The scene is enclosed within a simple rectangular border with ornamental scrolled corner pieces, each corner bearing the denomination numeral '25' within a decorative cartouche. |
