| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is printed in black and red on cream paper within a double-ruled border. The Arms of the City of Apolda — a heraldic shield with oak leaf mantling and a crowned eagle above — occupies the central vignette, flanked on either side by large red numeral "25" denomination figures with "Pf." subscript. Two scroll banners carry the validity conditions in Fraktur script, and the date "Apolda, den 1. August 1921" is inscribed below the arms, with facsimile signatures of the deputy mayor (Bürgermeister-Stellv.) and the chairman of the municipal council (Gemeinderat-Vorsitzender) in the lower portion. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a central silhouette vignette in the Art Nouveau style, showing two elaborately dressed ladies facing each other in conversation, one holding a parasol, the other a lorgnette, with a small dog on a lead at their feet. Narrow vertical panels at the left and right margins contain additional silhouette figures of fashionably attired women. The denomination "25" in red appears in each corner within grey panels, and a two-line humorous verse in Fraktur script runs across the lower panel. The series letter "A" is printed in the upper left area of the central frame. |

Apolda issued this Notgeld series in 1921 as the Reichsbank's inability to supply adequate small change forced hundreds of German municipalities to print their own fractional currency. The "Silhouette Series" designation — unusual for Thuringian civic issues — suggests a deliberate artistic brief, and Adolf Forker in Leipzig was a competent commercial printer capable of executing it cleanly. Forker handled a considerable volume of municipal emergency currency during this period, so the production quality tends to be consistent across the run.
Heyne signed as deputy mayor, not mayor — worth noting if the series shows signature variants across denominations.
