| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a large silhouette vignette in black on a pale buff ground, bordered by a decorative frame of wheat-ear motifs with red-cornered denomination tablets reading '75' at upper left and right. The silhouette scene, captioned 'Das Todesurteil' (The Death Sentence), renders a group of Napoleonic-era figures in a dramatic interior setting, with a central uniformed officer holding a document aloft before seated and standing attendants. A three-line verse in Gothic script runs along the lower margin, attributed in the lower right corner to 'Fr. Chr. Förster'. |

Wesel's 1921 Notgeld series belongs to the second wave of municipal emergency currency — issued not from genuine monetary desperation but largely to satisfy the booming collector trade that had developed around Kleingeldscheine by 1921. Cities quickly learned that attractive, regionally themed small denominations sold to collectors and never returned for redemption, effectively generating free revenue for municipal coffers.
Wesel itself sits at the confluence of the Rhine and Lippe rivers, and its fortification history stretches back to Spanish Habsburg occupation. Whether the city leaned on that heritage for its designs is a separate question, but the commercial calculation behind issuing at all was anything but accidental.
