Obverse description Yellow-ochre notgeld note with a red and black border frame, the denomination "75" printed in large red numerals at upper left and upper right flanking the Gothic blackletter title "Pfennig". The municipal coat of arms of Burg auf Fehmarn occupies the centre, rendered in full colour and showing a fortified castle with two green-capped towers set above stylised waves. The issuer name "Burg auf Fehmarn" is set in large Gothic script across the lower centre, beneath which the legend "Das Stadtverordnetenkollegium" identifies the issuing body, accompanied by two manuscript facsimile signatures and a printed serial number at lower left. Validity conditions are printed in Gothic script in two columns flanking the coat of arms, with the printer's imprint "J. C. König & Ebhardt in Hannover" at the very foot of the note.

Reverse description Vibrantly coloured vignette in a woodcut-inspired style signed by the artist Willbrandt, illustrating a historical scene from anno 1420 in which a group of armed medieval soldiers in colourful slashed doublets and hose confront a figure on a sandy shore, with a period sailing vessel visible on the sea to the right. The narrative inscription runs across the top and bottom of the note in Gothic blackletter, invoking the Low German proverb concerning King Erich. The overall composition fills the entire note surface without a formal border, giving it the character of a collector's artistic print.
