| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in green and black on white paper. At centre, the Hanau municipal coat of arms — a shield bearing a swan above a chevron — is set within an ornate foliate vignette flanked by two cartouches each bearing the denomination numeral '25' with the legend 'Pfennig' below, all framed by a rope-style border. Below the vignette appears a serial number line followed by a two-line validity clause in Gothic script, the date 'Hanau, den 12. August 1920', the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', and a manuscript signature. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark blue-grey and carries a central panoramic vignette of the city of Hanau, showing a townscape with a prominent church tower, industrial smokestacks, and open fields in the foreground. Two allegorical putti figures flank the central scene on either side, each holding a fruit or object, set against a decorative foliate border incorporating floral and fruit motifs. The denomination legend appears in Gothic script at the foot of the design. |
