| Beschrijving voorzijde | The face is dominated by a large Gothic numeral '75' in black at centre, flanked by a row of six stylised owls rendered in blue woodcut-style illustration against a brown hatched underprint. A bold black banner beneath carries the issuer's name in ornate script, followed by two lines stating the validity period and date of issue; a red serial number appears to the right, with the municipality's official circular stamp at lower centre and a manuscript signature of the Gemeindevorsteher at lower right. The series designation 'Serie 2 d' and the designer's credit 'GUNTHER CLAUSEN' are printed in the bottom margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
Kneitlingen, a small village in Lower Saxony, claims fame as the reputed birthplace of Till Eulenspiegel, the medieval trickster figure whose exploits were first compiled in print around 1510. The municipality leaned heavily on that association when commissioning this Notgeld issue — the Eulenspiegel connection was a deliberate piece of local identity politics at a moment when hundreds of German towns were competing to issue attractive small-denomination emergency currency that collectors would hoard rather than spend.
Günther Clausen's involvement places this among the more deliberately artistic Notgeld pieces of the 1921 wave. The print date of 30 April 1921 anchors it firmly in the inflationary transitional period before the hyperinflation of 1922–23 made such denominations meaningless.
