| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central vignette in colour letterpress shows the Schöffenhaus roadhouse — a large half-timbered building set amid wooded hills with a winding path in the foreground — captioned 'Das Schöffenhaus' and signed 'M. Bechstein gez.' in the lower margin. Verses in Gothic script flank the vignette on both left and right panels, each bordered by decorative foliate strips, with the denomination legend 'Wert fünfundzwanzig Pfennige' in a cream panel across the top. The lower panel carries the issuing authority inscription, validity date, municipality seal of Roda, and the facsimile signature of Bürgermeister Hertzer. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Upper vignette in colour letterpress illustrates a humorous scene titled 'Nagelschmied Rotschild': a horse-drawn stagecoach halted before the arched entrance of an inn inscribed 'vom Ross.', with a barefoot figure descending from the coach while onlookers stand in the doorway; the municipal arms appear in an ornamental cartouche at the top centre, flanked by two circular denomination roundels each reading '25'. Below the vignette, a cream text panel presents a six-line comic verse in Gothic script recounting the episode, with the printer's imprint along the bottom edge. |

Roda bei Ilmenau was a small Thuringian village that issued this note during the acute small-change shortage that followed Germany's post-WWI economic dislocation — a period when thousands of municipalities, companies, and institutions printed their own Notgeld simply because Reichsbank coins had vanished from circulation through hoarding and melting. The designer credit to Max Bechstein is worth noting; he was a Thuringian graphic artist active in the regional Notgeld scene, and Wiedemannsche Druckerei in Saalfeld was a prolific regional printer that handled commissions for numerous small Thuringian issuers during this period.
Roda itself had a population of only a few hundred at the time. The practical circulation life of such a note was brief — most series were officially recalled once the Rentenmark stabilization took hold in late 1923.
