| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by a large central circular vignette in ochre and black, bearing the bold Gothic numeral '25' within a rope-twist guilloche border. Arching across the upper field in decorative Fraktur script is the legend 'Gutschein der Stadt Buxtehude', with the city name running along the lower arc of the circle. Decorative corner ornaments in ochre frame the note, and below the central vignette the validity inscription 'Gültig bis 1. Oktober 1921' is printed, flanked by two manuscript signatures; at lower margin appears the redemption notice 'Einlösungsstelle: Altonaer Bankverein'. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in ochre and black and carries a bold Low German proverb in block lettering across the upper two-thirds of the field, overlaid with a silhouette vignette of a blacksmith at an anvil accompanied by a hound, set against a stylised ochre landscape background with a distant church tower. A narrow horizontal panel below contains a whimsical procession of silhouetted folk-tale figures — a hedgehog, a running hare, and a goat — rendered in a flat graphic style signed 'Othmer' at lower left, with the Low German caption 'JK BIN ALL DOR!' at lower right. |
