Obverse description Central vignette of the Sommer-Palais (Summer Palace) of Greiz set within a hexagonal frame, rendered in green and black letterpress with surrounding trees and grounds. The four corners each carry a circular denomination medallion bearing the numeral '75' against a purple guilloche underprint with stylised foliate ornaments. The date 'Greiz, den 3. Sept. 1921' appears at the lower left, with the issuing authority legend and the Oberbürgermeister's facsimile signature to the right. A three-line German verse inscription is set across the top, and the denomination 'Fünfundsiebzig Pfg.' is lettered in bold Gothic script along the lower panel.

Reverse description The central field carries the heraldic shield of Greiz — a castle with two towers surmounted by an inescutcheon bearing a rampant lion — set against a dense green arabesque underprint with swirling foliate scrollwork. Denomination medallions showing '75' occupy each corner in the same style as the obverse. The heading 'Stadt Greiz' is lettered in bold Gothic script at the top, and a redemption notice in Gothic script runs across the lower panel. The printer's imprint 'Otto Henning A.-G., Greiz.' appears in small type below the border at the foot of the note.
