| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two main zones with multicolour letterpress printing. The left zone presents three vignettes: a humorous scene dated 'Anno 1857' showing a man chasing a departing train with the Low German caption 'Halt! ick bün de Börgermeister von Kremp,' a central panel with a Roland statue labelled 'Rolandrieden' beside a mounted soldier, flanked by two red decorative cartouches with the motto 'an sik locken!', and the town's heraldic shield in yellow and blue. The right zone contains an ornate baroque-style cartouche enclosing the redemption notice in Low German script, signed by the Bürgermeister and dated 'Krempe im Decbr. 1920,' with the title legend 'Notgeld üt de Stadt Kremp' in Gothic blackletter across the top. The printer's imprint 'Druck von Carl Griese, Hamburg' appears at the foot of the note. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a large multicolour vignette in the style of a historical engraving, showing a drawbridge gate with figures in period costume at the entrance to the fortified town of Krempe, with a harbour scene beyond featuring sailing vessels, a church steeple, and a windmill on the horizon; a fisherman sits along a palisaded waterfront in the foreground. A pink scroll banner at the top bears a Low German proverb in Gothic script, and a green panel in the upper right displays the denomination '25 Pfen' in bold white Gothic lettering. A pink letterpress legend at the foot and a decorative floral side border in red and gold complete the design, with the artist's signature 'Jul. Nielsen – Itz.' in the lower right margin. |
