| Obverse description | The obverse features the Imperial German eagle displayed with spread wings, rendered in bold relief in the Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) style. The eagle bears a heraldic shield on its breast and is adorned with decorative collar elements and a Cross of the Order of the Iron Cross at its base. The Imperial crown surmounts the eagle's head above. The mint mark 'A' appears at the bottom of the field, below the eagle. The coin's border is formed by a distinctive scalloped or wavy decorative rim characteristic of this pattern design. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination '25' in large, boldly stylized Jugendstil (Art Nouveau) numerals dominating the upper field, with flowing decorative scroll-work integrated into the digit forms. The word 'PFENNIG' is inscribed vertically along the right side in an Art Nouveau architectural lettering style. The legend 'DEUTSCHES REICH' is inscribed in a decorative banner across the lower field, with the date '1909' centered beneath it. The overall design reflects the experimental Jugendstil aesthetic proposed for this unissued pattern coinage. A scalloped wavy border frames the entire design. |
