| Beschrijving voorzijde | Cream-toned note with a dotted border frame and horizontal striped underprint in ochre. At centre, a large green silhouette vignette shows three figures — a farmer with a scythe, a soldier, and a woman — set against a radiating sunburst background. The denomination '25' appears in large Gothic numerals at upper left and upper right, with the town name 'Gatersleben' in bold blackletter script across the top. Verse text in Gothic script fills the left and right panels, with validity notice at lower left, an issuance date of 30 July 1921 at lower right, and a facsimile signature of the Gemeindevorstand; the printer's imprint 'Louis Koch – Halberstadt' appears at the lower left margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Cream-toned note with a red ruled border. A large humorous colour cartoon vignette occupies the centre, showing an oversized gendarme in spiked helmet escorting two small figures — one in civilian dress, one in military cap — past luggage, a railway train, and a wall-mounted telephone box. The denomination '25' appears in bold red numerals at lower right. Verse text in Gothic script is arranged across the upper portion and along the lower register, continuing the comic narrative of arrest and amnesty. |

Gatersleben is a small agricultural village in the Magdeburg Börde, and its decision to issue notgeld in 1921 was driven by the same acute small-change shortage that pushed hundreds of German municipalities into local paper money production during the early Weimar inflation spiral. Louis Koch in nearby Halberstadt handled the print run — a regional firm that took on considerable notgeld work from surrounding communities during this period.
The 1/6 suffix in the reference number indicates this is the first of a six-note series, a common notgeld format that municipalities used partly to encourage collection and hoarding — keeping notes out of circulation and reducing redemption costs.
