| Obverse description | Printed in red-brown on a light ground, the obverse carries the authority inscription "ALLIIERTE MILITÄRBEHÖRDE" across a guilloche-bordered top panel. A large ornate vignette of interlaced foliate scrollwork and acanthus-style guilloché occupies the left portion, flanked by numeral "25" counters in cartouches at left centre and right. The denomination in full, "FÜNFUNDZWANZIG SCHILLING", is set in bold letterpress across the centre, with the series inscription "SERIE 1944 / IN OESTERREICH AUSGEGEBEN" below, and serial numbers printed in black at upper right and lower left. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in red-brown on a pale lilac-grey underprint and is entirely typographic and ornamental in character, with no central vignette illustration. A large lathe-work rosette guilloche medallion occupies the centre, enclosing the numeral "25", surrounded by radiating geometric engine-turned patterns. The word "FÜNFUNDZWANZIG" appears across the top, "SCHILLING" along the bottom, and the numeral "25" is repeated in each corner, with "SCHILLING" inscribed on lateral cartouches at mid-left and mid-right, all within multiple concentric ruled and dotted borders. |
