| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is laid out in a typographic and illustrative letterpress style. Flanking the central text panel are two pen-and-ink vignettes of Pößneck townscape views labeled 'Rößhau', rendered in a fine woodcut-like manner. The upper register bears the Gothic script header 'Goethe: Hermann und Dorothea: 1' with the canto subtitle 'Aus: Kalliope.' at left and 'Schicksal und Anteil.' at right. The central field contains a lengthy excerpt from Goethe's epic poem in red-ruled Gothic script lines, and the lower margin carries the denomination '25 Pf.' in bold red at each corner alongside the validity notice 'Dieser Gutschein verliert seine Gültigkeit 1 Monat nach Bekanntmachung, Pößneck den 31. Juli 1921' with two manuscript signatures for Magistrat and Gemeinderat. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in a vibrant multi-colour letterpress style with a central vignette drawn in a bold Expressionist illustrative manner, signed 'Rohnau'. A standing clergyman in 18th-century clerical dress gestures outward at centre, flanked on the left by two seated women in traditional costume and on the right by a seated man; a small coloured vignette of a castle appears in the lower middle ground against a pale cloud-effect underprint in blue-green. The upper border carries the bold Gothic inscription 'Notgeld der Stadt Pößneck' on a dark ground with green denomination numerals '25' at each corner, and the lower border bears a quotation in Gothic script; the printer's imprint 'Druck: Johannes Arndt-Jena' appears below the lower border. |

| Opmerkingen |
Pößneck's 1921 Notgeld series takes Goethe as its organizing theme — a common enough patriotic instinct in Thuringian small-town emergency currency, but the choice carries some local logic: Goethe passed through the region repeatedly during his Weimar decades, and Thuringia had been trading on that association since before the war. Johannes Arndt in Jena was a reliable regional printer for this kind of municipal work, producing clean lithographic runs for dozens of small-issue communities across the state.
The 25 Pfennig denomination is the first of ten notes in the series, per the DeNG reference suffix. Collectors should note that the full ten-note run is rarely found intact.
