| Obverse description | Printed in red-orange on white paper, the obverse is divided vertically into two panels by a decorative column of interlocking circles. The left panel bears the municipal coat of arms of Harzgerode — a turreted castle above a gateway with flanking foliate supporters — above the city name HARZGERODE in bold letterpress at the foot; the serial number is typeset in black at the upper left. The right panel carries a four-line verse inscription at the top, a large numeral '25' as the central denomination vignette, and below it the validity clause, issuing authority HARZGERODE, date DEM 7. JULI 1921, and a facsimile signature of Der Magistrat; the printer's imprint LOUIS KOCH · HALBERSTADT appears along the bottom margin. |
