| Obverse description | The large denomination numeral '25' dominates the central field, with 'Pf' (Pfennig) inscribed below it in Fraktur blackletter script. The date '1921' appears along the upper rim, flanked by the word 'Stadt' (City) in ornate Fraktur lettering. To the left of the numeral, the city's heraldic shield displaying three towers is depicted in relief, while to the right a decorative lion mask or head ornament is rendered in the field. The city name 'Rothenburg o/Tbr' curves along the lower rim in matching blackletter script, completing the design in a bold, graphic Notgeld style. |
