| Obverse description | Printed by letterpress in black on pale blue watermarked paper, the note is framed by a decorative wave-pattern border and headed by the legend 'Gutschein der Stadt Heiligenhafen'; the municipal arms of Heiligenhafen — a heraldic shield charged with stepped gabled buildings above water with two flanking flags — occupy the centre, with the large numeral '25' appearing on either side above 'PFENNIG'. The lower portion carries two text panels stating the redemption conditions at the Stadtkasse until 31 December 1923 and the note's restriction to the Stadtbezirk Heiligenhafen, together with a facsimile magistrate's signature and the printer's imprint. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a finely engraved landscape vignette in black on pale blue paper, presenting a coastal scene emblematic of Heiligenhafen: a spotted dairy cow stands at the left foreground on a grassy shoreline, while sailing vessels and a moored boat occupy the middle ground, and the town's skyline — anchored by a church tower — stretches across the bay in the background beneath a sky animated by seagulls. Below the vignette, two Low German verse panels are separated by the central denomination numeral '25', referencing the local traditions of agriculture and fishing. |
