Dieser Schein verliert einen Monat nach Aufruf seine Gültigkeit
Schobüll, 1. Juni 1921.
Der Gemeindevorsteher
Reverse description The reverse, also on pink-red paper with dark blue letterpress printing, presents a central landscape vignette within an ornate scrollwork cartouche matching the obverse border style. The vignette renders a rural North Frisian scene with a village church and outbuildings set against a billowing clouded sky, surrounded by open heathland in the foreground rendered in fine line work. The four corner cartouches repeat the denomination numeral '75' with 'Pfg.' in a decorative calligraphic style, and no additional text appears on this side.

Comments

Schobüll is a small coastal settlement on the Schleswig-Holstein peninsula, and its 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — the so-called "Serienscheine," produced more for collector sale than genuine transactional need. By 1921, many German towns were printing artistically elaborate small-denomination notes knowing full well that philatelists and Notgeld collectors would absorb them before they ever reached a till.

The 75 Pfennig denomination is slightly unusual within typical Notgeld series, which more commonly favored 25, 50, and 1 Mark increments.
