| 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. |

| Comments |
Verden (Aller) was a modest Weimar-era Notgeld issuer, and this 75 Pfennig piece from the local savings bank falls squarely within the second wave of German emergency currency — the so-called "Serienscheine" phase, when municipalities discovered that collectors would pay face value for attractive small-denomination notes, effectively providing interest-free loans to cash-strapped towns. J.A. Schwarz of Lindenberg im Allgäu was one of the more prolific provincial printers serving this market, producing Notgeld for dozens of issuers across northern and southern Germany simultaneously.
The 75 Pfennig denomination is among the less common values in most Notgeld series — issuers typically favored 25, 50, and 100 Pfennig increments.
