| Obverse description | The city name STADT-ROTHENBURG O/TAUBER curves in a semicircular legend around the upper field, with the denomination 25 PFENNIG prominently displayed in the center. The civic coat of arms of Rothenburg ob der Tauber appears at the lower portion of the field, flanked by the divided date 19 and 21. The lettering is executed in Fraktur blackletter script, consistent with the regional notgeld style of the early Weimar period. |

| Reverse description | A detailed architectural scene depicts the iconic Plönlein, the famous fork-in-the-road junction of Rothenburg ob der Tauber, showing the Siebersturm tower at center flanked by surrounding half-timbered buildings and gabled rooftops. Two pedestrian figures are rendered in the foreground on the cobblestone street, lending the composition a lively genre character. The legend PLÖNLEIN is inscribed in Fraktur blackletter script along the upper arc of the field. The scene is rendered in low relief with fine linear detail characteristic of Weimar-era notgeld coinage. |
