The central vignette shows a blacksmith's workshop scene with two figures — an aproned woman and a child with a satchel — standing before a brick forge, rendered in a folk-art illustrative style. Circular underprint vignettes to the left and right contain a seated rat and a perched crow respectively, and a Low German literary quotation from 'Hanne Nüte' scrolls across a banner below the central scene, with 'Neubrandenburg' in ornamental script along the lower border. |

Neubrandenburg's 75 Pfennig notgeld of 1921 belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency currency — issued not during the wartime shortages that prompted the first notgeld boom, but during the inflationary pressures of the early Weimar Republic, when small-denomination Reichsmark coinage had effectively vanished from everyday commerce through hoarding and melting.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional printer working a crowded market by this point, producing notgeld for numerous municipalities across central Germany. The DeNG reference suffix "8/9" indicates this note is one of a consecutively numbered pair within the 0935.2a series, suggesting the city issued at least two face-value variants under the same contract.
