| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three horizontal vignette panels beneath a bold Fraktur denomination banner reading 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennig'. The left panel contains a full-length figure of a robed saint, the central panel presents a polychrome view of the Zahnrad-Bahnhof (rack railway station) with a steam train on the tracks, and the right panel bears the civic coat of arms of Sankt Andreasberg flanked by pine branches. The lower margin carries a serial number box marked 'No 01302', a validity clause in Gothic script, the issue date 'St. Andreasberg i. Harz, den 1. Oktober 1921', the issuing authority 'die Kurverwaltung', and a manuscript signature, with the printer's imprint 'Buchdruckerei Karl Gieseke, Bad Lauterberg (Harz)' printed below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is framed by an ornate Art Nouveau border of intertwined branches and foliage rendered in warm brown tones. Denomination tablets reading '25 Pfennig' occupy the upper left and upper right corners against a pale blue guilloche ground. The central upper area carries the text 'Höhenkurort und Wintersportplatz' in bold Fraktur, surmounted by a large legend 'St. Andreasberg im Harz'. The lower half is dominated by a colour vignette of a canary in a wooden cage set amid naturalistic spruce branches with pine cones, ferns, and toadstools; a small artist's signature 'Hals' appears at the lower left of the vignette. |
