The central panel carries the numeral '25' in bold type above the Ilsenburg municipal coat of arms showing a tower, with text below stating the invalidity date and place of issue, and the facsimile signature of the Gemeindevorsteher. The printer's imprint 'Druckerei Appelhans, Braunschweig' appears beneath the lower border. |
