| Obverse description | The left third of the face is occupied by a vertical panel in green and black, with stylised wheat ears flanking a central guilloche band surmounted by the municipal coat of arms of Plau — a crenellated tower above a bull's head on a divided field. To the right, the issuer title 'Stadt Plau in Mecklenburg' is set in decorative blackletter over a green guilloche underprint, with the voucher legend 'Gutschein über 75 Pfg.' rendered in large red script beneath. The lower portion carries the redemption clause, two manuscript signature lines under the titles 'Der Rat' and 'Der Stadtverordnetenvorsteher', and a bold serial number. |

| Reverse description | The left half of the reverse is occupied by an octagonally framed letterpress vignette by Ludwig Düwahl, printed in ochre, brown, and black, in which two tradesmen — a blacksmith at his anvil and a labourer bearing a spade — converse before a brick wall and open workshop. The right half presents a Low German dialect verse in decorative blackletter, its initial capital rendered in an illuminated drop-cap style, enclosed within a flourish border. The denomination '75 Pfg' appears in large bold blackletter at the lower right, with the designer's name set below the vignette. |
| Reverse lettering | Dat is nicks mit Schlarafsenland, dorvon de Lüd vertell'n, uns bringt blot Arbeit wedder hoch, un reden nich, noch schell'n! 75 Pfg Ludwig Düwahl-Plau |
