| Reverse description | The reverse presents a large arched vignette of the 'Buren Porten' (Buren Gate), a medieval town gate of Fürstenau, rendered in an expressive pen-and-wash style with flanking half-timbered buildings and trees in the background. The denomination '75 Pfg' appears in bold Gothic numerals in the upper left and upper right corners against a grey-blue underprint. A bold curved banner at the lower centre carries the issuing legend in sans-serif capitals, with an ornamental guilloche scroll band beneath it. The printer's imprint 'GERHARD STALLING-OLDENBURG' is printed below the outer border. |

| Comments |
Fürstenau is a small market town in the Osnabrück district, and like hundreds of similarly sized German municipalities it turned to Notgeld in 1921 as small-change shortages persisted well beyond the armistice. Gerhard Stalling in Oldenburg was a logical choice for Lower Saxon issuers — the press had an established commercial printing operation and handled multiple regional Notgeld contracts during this period.
The DeNG reference suffix indicating variants 1-3/4 suggests the series ran across at least four distinct notes, a typical breadth for a 75 Pfennig denomination issue meant to cover everyday transactions during the inflation run-up.
