| Aversbeschreibung | Plain octagonal zinc field bearing the issuer's name in two lines of raised Latin capital letters across the upper portion: STADT / MÜLHEIM (RUHR.). The denomination numeral '25' is prominently displayed in large raised figures at the centre of the field, with the unit designation 'PFENNIG' inscribed in capital letters along the lower portion. The design is purely typographic, with no pictorial device, consistent with the utilitarian character of wartime emergency coinage (Notgeld). |

| Reversbeschreibung | Plain octagonal zinc field featuring the quartered municipal coat of arms of Mülheim an der Ruhr in raised relief at the centre-upper portion of the die, flanked on either side by the date split as '19' to the left and '17' to the right. The shield is divided into four quarters, incorporating heraldic devices including a lion, a wheel, diagonal hatching, and horizontal lines, typical of the city's arms. Below the arms, a three-line inscription in raised Latin capital letters reads: EIN KRIEGS: / KASTEMÄNN- / CHEN., meaning 'A war-chest token' (Kriegskästemännchen), referencing the emergency wartime nature of the piece. |

Issued by the city of Mülheim an der Ruhr in 1917, this zinc piece belongs to the vast Notgeld phenomenon driven by the wartime disappearance of copper and nickel coinage — metals requisitioned for munitions production. Hundreds of German municipalities issued their own emergency small change during this period, creating a fragmented patchwork of local currency that the Reichsbank tolerated out of necessity rather than policy.
Zinc was the default substitute, though it corrodes aggressively in circulation, which accounts for the difficulty in finding undamaged survivors from industrial Ruhr cities where humidity was rarely in a coin's favor.
