| Obverse description | The central field is occupied by a scroll-cartouche vignette combining the civic arms of Raguhn — a black bear passant above a brick gateway tower — with a panoramic riverside townscape rendered in a bold coloured woodcut manner. The denomination numeral '25' appears in circular cartouches at left and right within a dark decorative border, with floral arabesque ornaments at each corner. The lower margin carries manuscript signatures, a handwritten serial number, and the issue date 'im August 1921', with the payment office and validity clause set in Gothic blackletter script. |

| Reverse description | The central vignette presents a young woman in medieval dress seated outdoors among trees, playing a lute, executed in a bold coloured woodcut style consistent with the Heimat-Kunstnotgeld aesthetic. Diamond-shaped cartouches at left and right each bear the denomination '25 Pf.', framed by stylised vertical ornamental borders. A four-line humorous verse in Gothic blackletter script is distributed across the upper and lower borders, alluding in rhyme to the emergency nature of the issue. |
| Reverse lettering | Was frag' ich viel nach Geld und Gut, Ich laß die Sorgen ruhn, Und wenn das Geld mir mangeln tut, Druckt neues mir Raguhn. |
