| Reverse description | The reverse is dominated by a large central vignette executed in black letterpress line engraving, portraying a horse-drawn carriage passing through a historical street scene of stepped-gable townhouses with red-tinted roofs and a crescent moon in the upper right sky. The denomination '75' appears in all four corners within blue-framed cartouches with red numerals, and a continuous Low German text legend runs along all four margins of the note. |

| Comments |
Schüttorf is a small town in Lower Saxony, and its participation in the Notgeld wave of the early 1920s reflects how thoroughly the small-denomination coin shortage had disrupted daily commerce across Germany — even municipalities of a few thousand residents were forced to commission their own emergency currency. Adolf Forker in Leipzig handled a substantial volume of provincial Notgeld work during this period, supplying small issuers who lacked any connection to the major security printers.
The 75 Pfennig denomination was common enough in Westfälisches Notgeld but remains among the less-collected face values, overshadowed by the more visually elaborate Serienscheine produced elsewhere.
