| Obverse description | Orange and dark olive note with an ornate geometric border enclosing a central circular vignette of the full-colour municipal coat of arms of Canth, showing a divided shield with a rampant lion on a red field and teal-and-gold mantling beneath a helmeted crest. The denomination numeral 25 appears in bold at all four corners, with the issuer inscription STADT-SPAR-KASSE in a panel at the top and STADT CANTH in a panel at the lower centre. Flanking text in a script typeface reads the bearer-cheque obligation clause and a serial number appears in a central cartouche below the arms, with the printer's imprint at the foot. |

Canth — now Kąty Wrocławskie — was a small Silesian market town, and its municipal savings bank was one of thousands of German local authorities forced into emergency currency production during the 1921–1923 inflationary collapse. Grube & Schneider operated out of Freiburg in Schlesien, present-day Świebodzice, a regional print shop pressed into Notgeld work alongside its ordinary commercial output.
The DeNG reference suffix 1/8 indicates a specific plate variant within the 220.3 grouping — worth checking against the full Grabowski-Mehl listings if provenance matters.
