| Obverse description | Central field dominated by the large numeral '25' in bold raised relief, occupying the majority of the coin's face. A circular legend reading 'KRIEGSNOTGELD DER STADT HILDESHEIM' arcs around the upper periphery, with the date '1920' at the base flanked by small floral ornaments. The border is defined by a continuous row of raised beads forming an inner denticulated ring. The overall design is stark and utilitarian, characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early Weimar period. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the heraldic shield of the city of Hildesheim in raised relief, displaying a double-headed eagle in the upper portion of the quartered escutcheon above a horizontally striped and diapered lower field. The circular legend 'HILF GOTT HILDESHEIM ALLWEGE!' — a traditional civic motto meaning 'Help, God, Hildesheim always!' — arcs around the periphery, punctuated by small floral rosette ornaments at the base. A continuous beaded border frames the design, consistent with the obverse treatment. The composition is heraldically precise and reflects civic pride typical of German municipal Notgeld issues. |
