| Obverse lettering | Glück auf! Hätten wir Kali nicht in den Schächten, fehlt es an Korn und Früchten bald sehr; wenn wir das Steinsalz zu Tage nicht brächten, blieb auf dem Tisch unser Salzfaß leer. Dieser Schein verliert seine Gültigkeit 3 Monate nach öffentlicher Ankündigung. Leopoldshall, den 25. Juli 1921 Der Magistrat 75 Pfg. LOUIS KOCH, HALBERSTADT. |
| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in the same blue-grey palette and features a photographic vignette occupying the right two-thirds of the note, showing a Hängebank (pit-head winding platform) with ore tubs and workers, illustrating the local potash and rock-salt extraction industry. The upper left corner carries the inscription 'Gutschein der Stadt' above a decorative script banner reading 'Leopoldshall i. Anh.', with the denomination '75 Pfennig.' in a bold outlined panel beneath. A caption 'Hängebank' and a series number '6' appear at the foot of the vignette, with the legend 'Kali- und Steinsalzgewinnung.' running along the lower border. |

| Comments |
Leopoldshall was a small industrial town in Anhalt built almost entirely around the potash mining and chemical industries — by 1921 it had already been administratively merged with neighboring Staßfurt, though the Stadt continued issuing notgeld under its own name through the transition period. This 75 Pfennig piece is part of that brief window where the municipal identity persisted on paper even as it was dissolving in practice.
Louis Koch of Halberstadt was a regional jobbing printer responsible for a substantial share of Anhalt and Saxony notgeld production during the inflationary surge of 1921. The DeNG reference suffix ".2a" indicates a distinct paper or color variant within the third printing of this type — a granular distinction that matters to specialists assembling complete Leopoldshall sets.
