| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in dark green on cream paper in a woodcut-style artistic design typical of German Notgeld issues. The denomination numeral '25' appears in large white figures within dark green corner blocks at upper left and right, with 'PF' repeated in the lower corners. A central vignette in silhouette shows a sower striding across a field against a rising sun with radiating rays, flanked on each side by tall wheat sheaves rendered in a linear woodcut manner. The issuer's name 'Gemeinde Körner' is inscribed in bold Gothic lettering across the top center. The lower portion carries a redemption notice and two manuscript signatures above printed official titles. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Printed in dark green on cream paper in an expressive woodcut style, the reverse carries a triptych vignette across its full width illustrating three scenes relating to Kloster Volkenroda: at left, a ruined stone arch or tower remnant; at center, the monastery church with its tower amid trees; and at right, a scene of destruction with flames. A ribbon banner at the foot of the vignette bears the inscription recording the monastery's founding and destruction dates. The overall composition has an deckle-edged border effect consistent with Notgeld artistic printing of the early 1920s. |

Körner is a small village in the Unstrut-Hainich district of Thuringia, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities in 1921–1923, it issued its own emergency paper currency — Notgeld — to address the chronic coin shortage that preceded the hyperinflation collapse. This particular 25 Pfennig piece belongs to the later "Serienscheine" phase, when local Notgeld had shifted from genuine emergency scrip into a collector-driven cottage industry, with municipalities printing decorative series specifically for philatelic sale rather than day-to-day commerce.
Whether Körner's issue saw real circulation or went straight into collector albums is the practical question. Most small-town Thuringian Serienscheine of 1922 did not.
