| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out in black letterpress on a cream-toned ground, with a dotted border framing the entire note. To the right, an oval vignette presents a portrait bust of Elisabeth von Braunschweig-Lüneburg, last Duchess of Geldern (†1572), rendered in fine engraved style with an elaborate headdress and period dress; a cartouche below the portrait carries her name and title. To the left, the issuer heading 'STADT GELDERN' appears in bold capitals within a decorative panel, below which the denomination '25 Pfennig.' is set in large bold type, accompanied by the text 'Für diesen Gutschein zahlen alle Städt. Kassen' and the date 'Geldern, den 30. März 1921.' with the Bürgermeister's manuscript signature. |
