Obverse description Red and black letterpress Notgeld on cream paper, with the denomination numeral '25' and 'Pfennig' in bold Gothic script at left and right. The central vignette presents the coat of arms of Thale set within an arched cartouche, flanked by vertical line underprint panels. A circular inscription in small Gothic text encircles the armorial vignette, while the lower panel bears the issuing authority 'Gemeindevorstand', the date 'Walpurgis 1921', the validity clause 'Gültig bis 31. Dezember 1922', and the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister Schönermark.

Reverse description Red and black letterpress vignette on cream paper with the denomination '25' in framed boxes at upper left and right. The central scene illustrates the Walpurgis Night festival on the Hexentanzplatz — a lively group of figures dancing in a windswept nocturnal landscape, with a ruined castle silhouetted in the background, an owl perched at lower left, and crossed broom and pitchfork heraldic devices in the lower corners. A title inscription runs across the top, and a two-line verse in Gothic script appears at the bottom beneath the scene.
