| Obverse description | Cream-toned notgeld printed in black with a bold red horizontal band across the upper third carrying the denomination in Gothic blackletter script: 'Fünfundzwanzig Pfennig'.

The body of the note bears letterpress text naming the Handelskammer Hirschberg and the six guaranteeing municipalities, with the validity date 'Gültig bis 1. April 1919' printed vertically along both lateral margins; below, six pairs of handwritten manuscript signatures attest to the obligations of each participating Magistrat. |
