| Obverse description | The obverse is dominated by the heraldic coat of arms of Wesel in orange and white, centred within a decorative wreath of wheat ears and rope. The denomination '75 Pfg.' appears in large bold numerals on both the left and right sides against a dark background. The upper banner carries the Gothic script inscription 'Gutschein der Stadt Wesel', while a lower text block in italic Gothic script states the redemption conditions, with a serial number at bottom left and the facsimile signature of the Bürgermeister at bottom right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries a bold silhouette vignette titled 'Die Erschießung' (The Execution), rendered in a stark black cut-paper artistic style signed 'Jakobuy', showing a mounted officer with drawn sabre overseeing a scene of soldiers and a fallen figure. The denomination '75' appears in red-framed cartouches at the upper left and right corners, set against a decorative wheat-ear border. A literary quotation in Gothic script by J. Paul runs along the lower margin. |
