| Obverse description | The left portion of the note is occupied by a stanza from the Friesenlied (2nd verse) in decorative Gothic script, beginning "Gedenkt unsrer Väter und was sie geschafft...". To the right, a coloured vignette portrays the poet Hermann Allmers seated on a garden bench reading papers, set against a green leafy background, captioned "Hermann Allmers in seinem Garten 1894". The denomination "25 Pfennig" appears in a yellow and blue square cartouche at centre-bottom, flanked by the issuing authority inscription "Gutschein der Gemeinde Stotel", the date "Stotel, den 11. Februar 1921", and the facsimile signature of the Gemeindevorstand below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a vivid coloured central vignette of a medieval fortified tower engulfed in flames, with silhouetted warriors besieging its walls, and the year "1234" inscribed in the upper right corner of the scene. The central panel is flanked on the left and right by two narrow vertical columns of Gothic-script text forming a continuous patriotic verse about the Stotel fortress. The entire composition is set within a yellow border on a pale green ground, the vignette rendered in an expressionist illustrative style. |
