| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in dark brown on cream paper and carries a central vignette of the Völkerschlachtdenkmal (Monument to the Battle of the Nations) in Leipzig, rendered in a bold woodcut-style line art. The word GUTSCHEIN appears in large Gothic lettering across the top, followed by an inscription naming the Notgeld-Ausstellung in Leipzig and its validity period from 27 August to 4 September 1921. Below the vignette, a multi-line text block states the note's redemption conditions at the exhibition cashier, with the designer credit Entwürfe: 'Werbe', R. Fuchs. at the foot. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in black and blue on cream paper and presents a humorous caricature vignette: a striding giant figure wearing a bowler hat strides over a neoclassical exhibition hall building, while a smaller male figure looks on from the upper left; a large blue semicircular arch bearing the double-M Messe emblem overlays the composition. The denomination numeral 25 appears in bold blue at the upper left. A two-line verse inscription in Leipzig dialect is set in blue lettering against a black panel at the foot of the note. |

| Opmerkingen |
Leipzig's 1921 Notgeld issues were part of a peculiar commercial phenomenon: by mid-inflation Weimar Germany, municipalities had discovered that collectors would pay face value for attractively designed emergency money and never spend it, making Notgeld effectively a zero-cost revenue source. The "Notgeld-Ausstellung" designation marks this note as tied to an actual exhibition about Notgeld itself — a fair dedicated to the collecting craze that the inflation had inadvertently spawned.
R. Fuchs is credited as a Werbegestalter, an advertising designer rather than a traditional banknote engraver, which tells you exactly what this is: promotional material wearing the clothes of currency.
