Obverse description The obverse is laid out in a typographic letterpress style with a green guilloche underprint and a salmon-toned central panel. To the upper left, the arms of the Fürstlich Oettingen-Wallerstein'sche Standesherrschaft appear as a quartered heraldic shield beneath a princely crown, while a stylised black imperial eagle occupies the upper right. The denomination '42 Goldpfennig gleich Dollar: 1/10' is set in bold blackletter script beneath the heading 'Wertbeständiger Notgeldschein / Genehmigt vom Reichsfinanzministerium', followed by a lengthy redemption text, two manuscript signatures, and the issue date 26.11.23.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in green on white paper and carries a central woodcut-style vignette, signed 'Röhm' in the upper left corner, showing the traditional Nördlingen night watchman in a fur-trimmed coat, lantern in hand, calling out against a starry nocturnal sky with the St. Georg church tower visible to his left. Below the vignette, a two-column humorous verse in blackletter script addresses the local drinking tax theme, followed by the bold denomination line '1. Stunde 20 Pfg.', and at the foot an oval official stamp of the Stadtrat Nördlingen with a serial number and the abbreviated year '192'.
Reverse lettering Röhm
So, G'sell, so! Mein lieber Zecher,
Wenn Du weiter aus dem Becher
schlürfen willst, dann zahle bitte
– dieses ist bei uns so Sitte –
für Dein hocken eine Steuer!
Loben wird Dich Wirt und Bräuer;
Auch der Stadtrat – glaube mir! –
Bleibt alsdann gewogen Dir.
für die Steuer sei zum Trost
Dir ein wertbeständig Prost
Dargebracht: Ersatz p. v.
für den Notgeldschein a. D.
1. Stunde 20 Pfg.
