| Obverse description | The obverse is set on a grey ground with Gothic Fraktur lettering throughout. A central colour vignette framed in dark brown illustrates a shepherd in silhouette, staff over shoulder, leading a flock of sheep across an open plain beneath a vivid orange and yellow sunset sky, with the medieval skyline of Rothenburg ob der Tauber rendered in blue silhouette along the horizon. The denomination in blue Fraktur script runs across the top beneath the issuer heading, flanked left by redemption conditions and right by the issue date and the facsimile signature of the 1. Bürgermeister; a series letter and serial number in red appear in the lower corners. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed on a dark brown ground and centres on a full-length colour vignette of the Oberschäfer — the Chief Shepherd of Rothenburg — in traditional 18th-century ceremonial dress comprising a blue tricorn hat, blue cape, and orange coat, holding a cane and leather satchel. Two flanking panels, each on a grey ground, carry coloured scenes of armed townsmen in period costume; below each panel the numeral 75 is printed in large bold type. Dialect verse couplets in Gothic script appear beneath each flanking scene. |
