| Obverse description | The obverse is framed by a dark border with decorative corner ornaments, the denomination '25 Pfg.' printed in large bold Gothic numerals on both left and right panels. A central vignette presents a letterpress view of the Fürstenhof hotel complex in Bad Oeynhausen, rendered in brown and green tones with a rotunda, flanking wings, and foreground garden paths. Below the vignette, a three-line humorous German text runs across the full width, signed in facsimile by the hotel proprietor, with the printer's imprint at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a dark decorative border with the town name 'Bad Oeynhausen' in a ribbon banner across the top. The central vignette illustrates a humorous genre scene in a spa park setting, with several figures of varied nationalities and social classes — including a patient in a wheelchair, a man on crutches, and a top-hatted gentleman — gathered before a domed rotunda amid trees, rendered in a flat illustrative style in green, red, and black. The denomination '25 Pfg.' appears in red lozenges at left and right, and a four-line humorous verse in Gothic script fills the lower panel. |
