| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in black and red on cream paper within a double-ruled border. A header panel carries the issuing authority text and denomination in Gothic script, with the town name GUHRAU rendered in large display lettering. The central vignette presents the municipal coat of arms as an ornate heraldic shield, within which a crowned female saint stands holding a sword and a wheel, flanked by two towers, all set against elaborate acanthus scroll ornament in black and red. Denomination numerals '25' appear at lower left and right, with account series and serial number in a lower panel; the printer's imprint FLEMMING-WISKOTT-A.-G. GLOGAU appears at the foot. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black and red on cream paper, framed by a decorative border with twisted-column pilasters at the sides, each bearing a small red shield. The central vignette comprises a panoramic engraved view of the town of Gurau (Guhrau) as it appeared in the mid-sixteenth century, with church steeples, town walls, and surrounding countryside rendered in fine line work after an old topographical illustration. A cartouche at the top inscribes the town name and duchy designation, while a lower panel carries the descriptive caption in Gothic script; denomination numerals '25' appear at upper left and right. |
