| Obverse description | Yellow-ground note with a decorative border in blue and green. The denomination numeral '75' appears in red circular cartouches at upper left and upper right, with 'Pfg' abbreviated in the right cartouche. The upper portion carries the issuer's name in Gothic blackletter script and the series designation 'Serie I', followed by a validity clause and the issuing authority's manuscript signature dated April 1922. The lower half is occupied by a whimsical colour vignette, signed 'Heinberg', showing a column of armed frogs marching with spears and a striped parasol toward a white stork standing among reeds; a frog is caught in the stork's beak, with the humorous rhyme in a central cartouche. |

| Obverse lettering | Serie I Amf. Neustadt i/M. Dieser Schein verliert seine Gültigkeit 1 Monat nach Aufkündigung im Amtsblatt. Der Amtsausschuss: April 1922 Schwupp dimupp, es hat geklappt, einen hat er schon geschnappt. |
| Reverse description | Vividly coloured reverse printed in red, blue, and yellow on a light ground, with a decorative geometric border. The heading 'Dfsch. Ost-Afrika' (Deutsch Ost-Afrika) is set in bold Gothic script within a red panel at the top, flanked by the denomination numeral '75' in red on blue panels at either side. The central vignette, captioned 'Daressalaam – Die Boma', presents a colour scene of the administrative building (Boma) in Dar es Salaam flying the German imperial flag, with tropical vegetation and figures in the foreground; flanking side panels depict an African warrior with a spear at left and a figure with a basket at right, with smaller panels below showing elephant tusks and a bowl of produce. A red lower band carries the motto in Gothic script. |
