| Obverse description | The face is arranged in three vertical panels enclosed within decorative guilloche borders: the left panel carries the denomination numeral '25' in red above 'PFENNIG' and the series designation 'III. Serie', the issuance date '1.9.21.', the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat', and two facsimile signatures. The central panel presents a colour lithograph vignette of the historic market house ('Altes Haus a. Markt') with a steeply pitched red-tiled roof. The right panel bears the town name 'JESSNITZ' in bold letterpress, the municipal coat of arms in a shield at upper right, and the payment and validity conditions in small text. |

| Reverse description | The back is dominated by a large colour lithograph vignette of the Jeßnitz town hall as it appeared in the seventeenth century ('Rathaus Jeßnitz im XVII. Jahrhundert'), rendered in detailed architectural style beneath a rounded arch flanked by stylised floral motifs in green and red. The denomination numeral '50' appears in red at the upper left and upper right corners, with bold Roman numeral 'II' panels at the lower corners. A two-line inscription in Gothic script runs along the lower margin, serving as a historical verse referencing municipal justice. |
