| Obverse description | The central text panel, framed by a decorative red and black oval cartouche bearing the denomination '25 Pfennig' at the top, carries the issuing authority 'Spar- u. Darlehnskasse der Gemeinde Eisbergen a.d. Weser' in Gothic script together with the date 'im März 1921' and two facsimile signatures above a red serial number prefixed 'A.Nr.' Flanking the central panel are two full-length warrior vignettes executed in bold woodcut-style letterpress — a Roman legionary at left and a Germanic tribesman at right. A redemption clause in Gothic script runs along the lower border, with the printer's imprint 'J. & C. Meyer, Bad Oeynhausen' at the foot. |

Eisbergen is a small village in the Weser Uplands, and its cooperative savings and loan society — a Raiffeisen-model institution — was among thousands of local bodies that printed their own Notgeld during the inflationary spiral of the early Weimar years. The J. & C. Meyer press in nearby Bad Oeynhausen handled a considerable volume of small-denomination municipal and cooperative emergency notes for the surrounding Minden-Ravensberg area during this period.
Cooperative-issued Notgeld is meaningfully less common than municipal issues, since the authorizing bodies were smaller and print runs correspondingly short.
