| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a bold black banner at the top carrying the gothic-script title 'Gutschein des Luftkurorts Fürstenberg in Meckl.' in large white lettering. At centre, a polychrome vignette displays the municipal coat of arms — a crowned figure on a red shield flanked by ornamental cartouche scrollwork — framed by two arched ribbon banners bearing Low German dialect verse. The lower portion is divided into three panels: a redemption clause at left, a bold black-framed denomination cartouche reading '25 Pfennig' at centre, and the issue date '1. August 1921' with two manuscript signatures above the legend 'Der Rat:' at right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large central vignette in a fine pen-and-ink illustrative style, depicting the paddle steamer 'Fürstenberg' crowded with passengers on a river, with a wooded shoreline and billowing smoke stack in the background. In the lower-left corner, an inset portrait bust of a bearded man in a peaked cap is rendered in detailed crosshatch. Denomination cartouches reading '25 Pf' in gold on black ground occupy both upper corners, and a scroll banner at the foot bears a two-line Low German dialect inscription. |
