| Obverse description | Central vignette of a townscape with a tall Gothic church spire rising above riverside buildings under a cloudy sky, enclosed in a rectangular frame. The denomination '90 Pfennig' appears in the upper left and upper right corners, with the town name 'Rathenow' arched across the top in decorative lettering. Flanking text panels carry the redemption and validity conditions, with the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat' and two manuscript signatures at the foot; the printer's imprint 'Flemming-Wiskott A.G. Glogau' runs along the bottom edge. |

Decorative Art Nouveau corner panels with stylised floral and figural motifs frame all four sides, with the denomination '90' at the upper left and right. The town name 'Rathenow' is lettered in Gothic script along the lower border, and the humorous verse is divided across the left and right flanking panels. |
