Obverse description Notgeld note printed in blue and red on cream paper, framed by an elaborate geometric border of interlocking scroll ornaments. The centre carries a circular vignette of a robed bishop or saint figure, overlaid by bold red Gothic-script lettering reading 'Gutschien' at the top and 'Fief und fobenti Penn' across the middle, with '75 Penn' repeated in the four corner panels. The lower central area bears the place name 'Nordseebad Büsum', the validity date 'Jultsien 31. 12. 21.', the issuing authority 'De Grisvertreuung', and the printer's imprint 'Drückt bi W. Clausen, Büsum.' — all rendered in the Low German (Plattdeutsch) dialect.

The red title 'Ol Büsum.' is set above the vignette, flanked on either side by columns of Low German verse in red Gothic script, with the caption 'De Büsumer Krautfru: Kraut! Kraut!' positioned in the lower right.
