| Reverse description | The reverse is framed by the same wavy-edged double border. The upper field carries a coloured vignette in red and olive, showing a stylised armoured figure standing over a kneeling captive beside a sword, set against a panoramic townscape with birds in flight; the denomination numerals '25' appear at upper left and right. A bold red caption 'UM 1350' marks a historical date below the vignette. The lower half is filled with six lines of Low German verse in black gothic script, with the artist's credit 'K. G. RICHTER' printed at the foot. |

Ja, har ni de Bur son verdammt stime Nack, Se steken noch girn uns vundag in ehrn Sack. K. G. RICHTER |

Büdelsdorf, a small industrial town in Schleswig-Holstein, issued this 25 Pfennig Notgeld during the currency emergency of the early 1920s, when hyperinflation and a chronic shortage of small-denomination coinage forced hundreds of German municipalities to print their own emergency money. Leck & Rotermundt was a Hamburg commercial printer that handled Notgeld contracts for numerous northern German communities during this period — workmanlike output, not a fine arts press.
The DeNG reference places this within a numbered municipal series, suggesting Büdelsdorf issued at least three related notes simultaneously.
