| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in blue, orange, and black on cream paper, with a dense guilloche underprint forming the outer border panels. A large central medallion encloses the coat of arms of Osnabrück — two wild men (Wilde Männer) as supporters flanking a shield charged with two wagon wheels — set against an orange lozenge-pattern underprint. Denomination roundels showing "75" in blue appear at left and right within scalloped cartouches, and a circular inscription band surrounds the central vignette with the issuing authority and redemption text in Gothic script; the printer's imprint "Druck: Gebrüder Jänecke, Hannover." appears below the lower border, with the designer's monogram "Fr. L." at lower right. |

| Comments |
Osnabrück's 75-Pfennig Notgeld from this period is part of a thematically ambitious series — the city commissioned Gebrüder Jänecke in Hanover to produce what amounted to a miniature history of the Westphalian peace negotiations, capitalizing on the 1648 treaties' close association with the city. Jänecke were a serious commercial printer, not a stopgap operation, and the quality of impression reflects that.
The DeNG reference suffix range (.1-10/13) indicates at least ten design variants within this denomination grouping, a deliberate collectibility strategy that municipalities had learned drove retention — notes hoarded rather than spent helped towns manage their actual hard-currency reserves during the inflationary spiral of 1921–22.
