| Obverse description | Yellow-ochre and green notgeld note with a thick dark border enclosing a green frame; the denomination numeral '75' appears in brown corner cartouches at all four corners. At centre top, the municipal coat of arms of Pößneck — a blue shield bearing a black lion rampant, surmounted by a golden mural crown — is framed by elaborate interlaced green strapwork in Art Nouveau style. Below the vignette, the bold sans-serif legend 'STADT PÖSSNECK' is printed in white on the yellow ground, with the word 'NOTGELD' beneath it; the large numeral '75 Pf.' occupies the lower centre, flanked on the left by an oval cartouche with the validity clause in Gothic script and on the right by a cartouche bearing the facsimile signatures of the Magistrat und Gemeinderat. The printer's imprint 'Druck von Johannes Arndt, Jena.' appears in small type below the outer border. |

| Reverse description | Dark olive-green and black note with the word 'PFENNIG' repeated vertically in olive on both lateral borders and the denomination '75' at each corner; the top and bottom margins carry the inscription 'PFENNIG * PFENNIG' in bold lettering. The central vignette, enclosed within a gold-outlined oval cartouche, presents a silhouetted townscape of Pößneck by night rendered in a bold woodcut-style technique: the Gothic church and surrounding rooftops rise against a pale blue-grey sky, while the foreground is scattered with colourful circular lights suggesting a festive outdoor gathering. The caption 'WEIHNACHTSFEIER' (Christmas celebration) is inscribed in small capitals at the base of the oval, and the printer's imprint 'Druck Johannes Arndt Jena' appears in small type below the outer border. |
