| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black, red, and light teal on grey paper within a plain rectangular frame. A central circular vignette, bordered by a dotted ring, contains a finely engraved half-length portrait of a bearded medieval soldier or lansquenet wearing a broad-brimmed hat and carrying a pike and sword, set against a stippled dark background; the artist's name 'Heinz Schiestl' appears below the circle. The denomination numeral '25' is printed in large bold red figures to the left and right of the central vignette, while the four corners of the note carry the legend 'Kreis Coesfeld' at top and 'Kriegs Geld' at bottom in bold Gothic blackletter, with teal wavy-line guilloche bands running horizontally across the mid-field and Iron Cross ornaments above and below the central vignette. |

| Opmerkingen |
Coesfeld's district committee issued this note as part of the Notgeld wave that swept German municipal and regional authorities from 1916 onward — a direct response to the hoarding of metallic coinage as the war economy ground through copper and nickel reserves. The Kreisausschuss, a mid-tier administrative body sitting between the municipality and the province, had no formal banking authority; it issued on civic necessity alone.
The printer, J. Adolf Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu, was a specialist in small-denomination Notgeld production during this period, working across dozens of issuing authorities. Heinz Schiestl, a Munich-based graphic artist and woodcut specialist, contributed designs to numerous Notgeld series — his involvement here points to the deliberate artistic ambitions that distinguished the better Westphalian issues from purely utilitarian emergency paper.
