| Obverse description | Issued on cream-orange paper with a brown and black two-colour letterpress design within a double-ruled border. The upper register carries the title inscription in Gothic blackletter type. A central vignette contains the large numeral '25' in ornate script set against a hatched brown panel, flanked to the left by a small vignette of Suhl's fortified town gate and to the right by a cartouche inscribed 'Pfg.' A validity clause in Gothic script occupies the lower half, concluding with the facsimile signature of the Magistrat, and the designer and printer credits appear along the bottom margin. |

| Reverse description | Printed in brown and black on a cream-orange ground, the reverse centres on a large horizontal vignette of a historic flintlock or wheel-lock rifle — a direct reference to Suhl's centuries-old tradition of arms manufacture — set within a plain panel against a fine guilloche underprint. The surrounding frame is divided into four corner squares each bearing the numeral '25', with vertically striated lozenge ornaments on the lateral borders. Inscriptions in Gothic blackletter above and below the central panel together form a couplet praising Suhl's gunmakers. |
