Obverse description Letterpress-printed Notgeld in red and blue on cream paper, enclosed within an ornate blue geometric border of interlocking scroll and grid panels. The denomination '75 Penn' appears in bold red Gothic script in each corner panel, while the central field carries the title 'Gutschien' at the top in large red Fraktur lettering, below which the value in Low German dialect 'Fief und söbenti Penn' is printed across the width. A circular vignette at centre shows a standing robed figure, overlaid by a hand-stamped serial number; the issuing authority 'Nordseebed Büsum', date '1. Juli 1921', redemption notice 'Jntolösen 31. 12. 21.', and authorisation 'De Ortsvertretung' are inscribed in red below. The printer's imprint 'Drückt bi W. Clausen, Büsum.' appears at the foot outside the border.
