| Obverse description | Dark green and ochre-yellow notgeld printed in a woodcut-style artistic technique. The denomination numerals "25" and "Pfg" appear in large ochre script at upper left and upper right respectively, against the dark green ground. A central vignette rendered in the Expressionist woodcut manner shows two peasant women gleaning hay beside a large sheaf, set within a fan-shaped composition formed by two diagonal ribbon banners. The upper banner carries a Low German dialect proverb in cursive script. Below the vignette, a lower ribbon panel bears the issuing authority inscription in Gothic lettering, followed by five facsimile signatures of city council members. The artist's name "RICHARD ZSCHEKOD" appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Dark green and ochre-yellow reverse in matching woodcut style. The note is framed by an elaborate quatrefoil-shaped ochre border. A central circular vignette presents a detailed view of the Reuter-Gefängnis (Reuter Prison), the historic building in Dömitz where the poet Fritz Reuter was incarcerated, captioned in cursive script below the image. Flanking the central medallion, the denomination "25 Pfg" is repeated in large Gothic numerals on both left and right. The curved heading "Reutergeld der Stadt" arches above the vignette in bold Gothic script, while "Dömitz a/M" is inscribed in large Gothic lettering across the lower portion. The artist's split credit "RICHARD" and "ZSCHEKOD" appears at lower left and lower right respectively. |
