To the left, a cartouche bears the validity inscription and issuer name, with two manuscript signatures below; the denomination '25 Pf.' appears in bold white numerals at the lower right. A curved panel at the base contains a six-line German verse in blackletter script.

Rat der Stadt Krakow i. M.
25 Pf.
Wie legen sich die Nachtigallenlieder
So trostvoll doch an's Menschenherz!
Als wenn sie mit der Sehnsucht Klängen
Vom Himmel zu uns nieder drängen,
Zu ziehn die Seele himmelwärts,
So süß-gewaltig ist ihr Ton.
Reverse description Brown and salmon-toned vignette in a bold graphic style, with two male workers manoeuvring a large wooden barrel atop a rooftop silhouette against an open sky, a chimney stack rising to the left. The large white denomination numeral '25' dominates the lower centre, beneath which the inscription 'PFENNIG / REUTERGELD / KRAKOW' is rendered in heavy block capitals against a dark ground.
