| Obverse description | The obverse is laid out within a multi-rule decorative border with stylized corner ornaments and chevron motifs along the outer margins. A central circular vignette contains the municipal coat of arms of Canth, rendered in an Art Nouveau woodcut style with heraldic supporters and cresting. The denomination numeral '25' appears in each corner, with text panels flanking the vignette bearing the bearer cheque clause and the magistrate's facsimile signature, while 'STADT·SPAR·KASSE' is inscribed in a cartouche at the top and 'STADT CANTHA' in a panel at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is enclosed within a plain double-rule frame with zigzag outer border and scroll ornaments at the lateral margins.

Below the vignette the caption 'Der Galgen.' appears, followed by a two-line verse in Gothic script, and the denomination numeral '25' is repeated in each corner. |
