| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into three vertical panels framed by decorative borders with ornamental geometric underprint. The left and right panels each bear the numeral '75' in large teal figures above the written denomination 'Fünfundsiebzig Pfennig'. The central panel carries a polychrome vignette of the Verden (Aller) cathedral and townscape with red-roofed buildings beneath a clouded sky, surmounted by the issuer's title in bold Gothic script. Below the vignette, the city's heraldic shield — a red gothic gateway enclosing a bishop figure above a black cross on white — is flanked by the payment obligation text and date '1. Dezbr. 1921', with a serial number in the lower left and a manuscript signature for 'Der Magistrat' at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black and cream, dominated by a bold expressionist silhouette vignette set within a diamond-shaped field on a light ground. The vignette illustrates a dramatic scene of demonic figures and writhing human forms, referencing the local legend of the stone man of Verden Cathedral and the Devil. Four blocks of Low German verse in Gothic script occupy the corners of the note, surrounding the central diamond composition, which bears an artist's monogram at lower right. |
