| Reverse description | Dark brown-ground reverse divided into three vertical panels. The central panel, marked with the initials 'E·U', carries a colour vignette of a courting couple in traditional Franconian folk costume — the woman in an orange patterned dress, the man in blue attire holding a staff — framed by an arch. The left panel shows a seated peasant figure with a goose against a blue ribbon motif and a dialect verse, with the large numeral '75' below; the right panel mirrors this arrangement with a shepherd and flock vignette, a second dialect verse, and the numeral '75'. |

| Comments |
Rothenburg ob der Tauber issued Notgeld with unusual seriousness about artistic quality, and this 75 Pfennig note is part of a numbered series designed by Ernst Unbehauen, a local artist who produced work specifically tied to the town's medieval identity. The town was already a tourist destination by 1921, and there is reasonable evidence that at least some of these series notes were printed with collectors in mind as much as emergency circulation — a common but rarely admitted practice among the more elaborate Bavarian Notgeld issues.
The DeNG reference places this within a subseries of four notes, suggesting deliberate thematic sequencing across the denominations.
