| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a richly coloured vignette of a historic street scene in Erkelenz, with two old half-timbered and stone buildings flanking an allegorical female figure rising from a pile of broken chains, rendered in an Expressionist folk-art style. A ribbon banner across the centre bears the motto "Aus Geldnot verdorben — Durch Notgeld erworben". The denomination numeral 75 appears in the lower corners, and four lines of Gothic text form a continuous border running around all four edges of the note. Small civic shields appear in the upper corners. |

Erkelenz issued this 75 Pfennig note as Notgeld during the hyperinflationary pressures of the early Weimar Republic, when municipal and civic bodies across Germany were forced to produce emergency small-denomination currency to compensate for chronic coin shortages. The Reichsbank simply could not keep pace with demand for low-value circulating money, and hundreds of towns stepped into the gap.
The DeNG reference places this within a numbered series, suggesting Erkelenz issued multiple Notgeld types in this period — the "1/2#348.1a-6/6" suffix indicates this is the sixth note of a six-piece set, the kind of deliberately collectible series that became commercially common by 1921 as municipalities recognized a secondary market among Notgeld collectors.
