| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed on a light blue guilloche underprint enclosed within an ornate typographic border of interlocking rosettes and twisted rope motifs. The central vignette presents the heraldic shield of Ruhpolding — a wayside cross on a stepped plinth above wavy water, surmounted by a leafy tree — flanked symmetrically on either side by the large numeral '25' above the denomination legend 'PFENNIG' in bold Gothic lettering. Below the shield, two manuscript facsimile signatures appear beneath the role designations '1. Bürgermeister:' and 'Kassenverwaltung:', with the issuing authority and date 'Gemeinderat Ruhpolding / 19. Oktober 1920' printed across the lower margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black on a white ground with the same ornate border of rosettes and twisted rope as the obverse. The serial number is printed at the top, followed by the issuer name 'Gemeinde Ruhpolding' in bold Gothic script and the denomination 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennig' in large display type. A four-line humorous verse in quotation marks occupies the centre, below which three lines of text state the redemption conditions and anti-counterfeiting warning. The printer's imprint 'GEBR. PARCUS. MÜNCHEN.' appears in small capitals at the foot of the note. |

Ruhpolding is a small Bavarian village in the Chiemgau Alps, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1920 places this firmly in the second wave of German emergency money — the decorative "serienscheine" phase, when municipalities discovered that collectible notgeld could generate revenue simply by being sold to collectors and never redeemed. Gebrüder Parcus in Munich was one of the more prolific printers of this type, handling issues for dozens of Bavarian communities during this period.
Whether Ruhpolding's issue was produced primarily as a collector piece or served genuine small-change circulation is worth considering — by 1920, the line between the two had largely collapsed.
