| Obverse description | Brown-toned Notgeld issued on 1 Mai 1921, with a central vignette of a medieval town gate tower in brown and green, flanked by the Glauchau civic arms on the left and a crescent moon motif on the right; the denomination "75 Pfg." appears in red and black Gothic lantern cartouches at both left and right margins. Blackletter Gothic inscriptions in the upper corners read "Notgeld" and "der Stadt", with the city name "Glauchau" in large script across the tower, and two owls with shields carved into the gate arch below. Text columns at lower left and lower right provide the acceptance and validity clauses, with the date "Glauchau, 1 Mai 1921" and a manuscript signature of the Stadtrat at lower right. |

| Reverse description | Cream-ground reverse with a green and brown decorative border incorporating stylised Gothic tower motifs at each side, with the denomination "75" in Gothic numerals in cartouches at left and right. The central field carries a bold silhouette vignette in black on a light ground, signed by the artist, showing four figures gathered around a tall table with a large jug, rendered in a folk-art silhouette style. A two-line rhyming verse in blackletter Gothic script runs along the top and bottom of the central panel, and the numeral "4" is printed below the vignette, indicating the series number within the set. |
