| Obverse description | Printed in orange-red on cream paper, the obverse is arranged in three vertical panels: the flanking panels each contain a standing figure within an arched niche — armoured male at left, draped female at right — set amid foliate ornament, while the central panel presents the municipal coat of arms of Zerbst (a turreted gate above a rampant bear, enclosed in a laurel wreath) with the denomination numeral '25' and 'Pfg.' at upper left and right respectively. Below the arms, a scrolled banner carries the legend 'Gutschein' and the serial number, with the issue date 'Zerbst, den 1. Juli 1921' and a manuscript signature of 'Der Magistrat' at lower right. The printer's imprint 'Louis Koch — Halberstadt' appears at the foot, and a validity clause in small type runs across the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed in orange-red on cream paper, the reverse is structured around two large interlocking circular cartouches set against a chequered ground: the left encloses a vignette of a half-timbered civic building and the right a view of the Rats-Brauerei (municipal brewery), with a tall beer glass flanked by hop foliage forming the central device between them. The denomination numeral '25' is repeated in each corner, and the place name 'Zerbst in Anhalt' is inscribed in a decorative panel at the top. A lower ribbon banner carries a rhyming German-script couplet referencing local sausage and bitter beer. |
