| Obverse description | Notgeld issue on a beige-grey ground with a decorative rope-and-chain border in olive-gold. A central oval vignette, framed by a wreath of stylised wheat ears, presents a rural scene of the Prinzenfarm — a thatched farmstead set among bare winter trees rendered in a fine line-art style. The denomination numeral '75' appears in large type to either side of the vignette, with the issue legend and expiry notice across the top margin and two facsimile signatures below, attributed respectively to Der Magistrat and Das Stadtverordneten-Kollegium. |

Plön is a small lakeland town in Schleswig-Holstein, and its municipal authority issued this 75 Pfennig Notgeld in 1921 during the inflationary chaos that followed Germany's defeat and the reparations burden imposed by Versailles. Municipal and local bodies across Germany printed their own emergency small-change notes because coins had effectively disappeared from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply insufficient in supply.
Institut Moser, Berlin, handled a substantial volume of provincial Notgeld commissions during this period. The 75 Pfennig denomination is slightly unusual — most series favored rounder values — and may reflect a specific local pricing or wage-payment need rather than a standard denomination choice.
