| Reverse description | The reverse carries a lively genre scene in which a group of townspeople — some seated, others standing — are gathered in a courtyard around a laid table before a half-timbered house, illustrating the local tradition of the Runkelrüben und Blaserohr-Vogelschießen (turnip and blowpipe bird-shooting festival) of Stützerbach. The composition is executed in a detailed letterpress vignette in the regional Notgeld illustrative style typical of 1921 Thuringian issues. |

| Comments |
Stützerbach is a small glassmaking village in the Thuringian Forest, and its 1921 Notgeld series leans hard into that identity. Max Bechstein — a Thuringian commercial artist whose work appears across several regional Notgeld issues of this period — designed the series for Wiedemannsche Druckerei AG in Saalfeld, a press responsible for a significant volume of the better-produced Thuringian municipal emergency currency.
The 75 Pfennig denomination is the least common of the Stützerbach set, likely reflecting lower practical demand at that value during the inflationary spiral of 1921.
