| Obverse description | Letterpress in green and red on cream paper, enclosed within a double-ruled black border. The large denomination numeral '25' in green occupies the centre, overlaid by a red heraldic eagle with spread wings; the Gothic-script legend 'Notgeld der Stadt Arnstadt' arcs across the top with 'Pfennig' below the numeral. Validity text in Gothic script appears at lower left, the issuing authority's abbreviated legend at lower right, and the designer's credit 'A. PAUL WEBER' is printed in the bottom margin below the border. |

| Reverse description | Letterpress in black and red on cream paper within a ruled border. The central vignette presents a fine-line architectural rendering of the Arnstadt Rathaus (Town Hall), with its characteristic Baroque gabled facade, twin spires, clock tower, and figures in the foreground square; the caption 'Rathaus' appears in Gothic script at the foot of the vignette. Flanking the central panel are two vertical cartouches, each containing a guilloche band in green with the red denomination numeral '25' superimposed, framed by ornate acanthus scroll flourishes in black, with the artist's monogram 'APW' in the lower margin. |
