| Obverse description | Green and dark brown Notgeld note with the denomination '25 Pf' repeated in the four corners against a dark guilloche border. A central diamond-shaped vignette encloses decorative scrollwork and the city arms of Nimptsch — a tower with foliage surmounted by a black eagle on a striped field — above a text panel bearing the validity clause and the magistrate's facsimile signature. The upper legend reads 'NOTGELD DER STADT' and the lower reads 'NIMPTSCH IN SCHLESIEN', with the printer's imprint and series note along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Multicolour pictorial reverse in the Jugendstil-influenced Notgeld style, centred on a vignette of a medieval fortress or castle set upon rocky terrain, flanked on the left by a full-length figure of Die Heilige Hedwig (Saint Hedwig) in red robes and on the right by Herzog Heinrich I in armour bearing a shield with the Silesian eagle and a sword. A text cartouche below the castle reads a historical note about Nimptsch as the first German settlement in Silesia mentioned by the chronicler Thietmar von Merseburg. The denomination '25' appears in a diamond cartouche at the top centre, with banners inscribed 'NIMPTSCH' and 'SCHLESIEN'. |
| Reverse lettering | DIE HEILIGE HEDWIG HERZOG HEINRICH I. NIMPTSCH SCHLESIEN 25 Nemzi, erste von dem Geschichtsschreiber Thietmar von Merseburg erwähnte deutsche Siedlung Schlesiens. |
