| Obverse description | Green-tinted notgeld note with a decorative border of small diamond motifs. The heading reads 'Stadt Hörter' in bold black Gothic script across the top, flanking a central colour vignette of the city's heraldic shield bearing a Gothic church façade. Denomination panels reading '25 Pfennig' appear symmetrically at left and right in blue on yellow grounds. Below, a text block in German script gives the redemption clause and the issue date 'Hörter, d. 1. Mai 1921', with a serial number and manuscript signature of the Magistrat at the foot. |

| Reverse description | Richly illustrated reverse in a historicist lithographic style, with a panoramic riverside view of Höxter in the background beneath a large orange disc bearing the numeral '25'. The central vignette depicts a group of women in medieval dress engaged in a brawl with poles — a reference to the 'Maggte Schlachte von Horckser' (the Maids' Battle of Höxter, 1554) — with two heraldic shields (Braunschweig eagle and the lion of Margrave) flanking the scene. A lengthy period text in Early New High German script below narrates the historical episode, and the designer's name 'Friedrich Koch' appears at the lower left. |
