| Obverse description | The central vignette, attributed to W.H. Lippert, presents a kneeling medieval figure in profile carrying a tray with grapes and a goblet, printed in green and black over a swirling foliate underprint. Ornate teal and black baroque scroll panels bearing the denomination '25 Pf' flank the vignette left and right, while 'Konto I' appears in a cartouche at lower left and the serial number at lower right. The issuer name is set in Gothic script at upper centre, with 'Grünberg in Schl.' rendered in large decorative letterpress across the lower margin. |

| Reverse description | A humorous silhouette vignette in black ink illustrates the local Grünberg legend of townsfolk presenting a drunkard as a pig at a toll gate, with four figures gathered around a man slumped in a wheelbarrow beneath a 'Zoll' sign. Twisted-column border panels in teal and black carry the denomination '25 Pf' at each upper corner. The lower margin bears the town epithet 'Obst- und Weinstadt Grünberg' in bold decorative Gothic letterpress, with the printer's patent notice at the very base. |
