| Obverse description | The central vignette, rendered in letterpress on a salmon-coloured ground, presents a mineral spring fountain flanked by two allegorical figures — a bearded elder drinking from a bowl and a reclining youth — set against a panoramic backdrop of the Kurhaus and wooded hillside of Bad Reinerz. The denomination "25 Pf." appears in bold numerals at upper left within an oval reserve, with the town name and descriptive legend in Gothic script within a cartouche at lower right, and the artist's signature "A. Jung" at lower left. The composition is enclosed by an ornamental border of oval pearl-like motifs in blue. |

Reinerz was a spa town — Kurort Reinerz — whose municipal finances were perpetually strained by the cost of maintaining its thermal infrastructure while also absorbing the inflationary chaos hammering every small German issuer in 1921. The Magistrat's decision to commission Carl Flemming & Wiskott in Glogau rather than one of the better-known Notgeld printers reflects regional practicality; Flemming & Wiskott had deep roots in Silesian commercial printing and could turn small municipal orders quickly.
Designer A. Jung is credited in the margin — unusual enough that it's worth noting, though nothing further about this individual is currently documented in standard Notgeld references.
