| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in olive-green and black on plain paper, framed by a heavy decorative border with geometric and foliate motifs. The central vignette presents a detailed letterpress view of the Hann. Münden Rathaus (Town Hall), a multi-storey Renaissance structure with stepped gables, turrets, and ornate fenestration, captioned below in Gothic script noting its construction in the 12th century and remodelling in 1603–4 as a jewel of German Renaissance architecture. The denomination "75 PF" appears in large bold numerals in the left and right panels, flanked by vertical side panels bearing text in rotated Gothic script, with the issuer's name "STADT HANN. MÜNDEN" displayed prominently across the top in large block capitals. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in black and white against a cream ground, with olive-green geometric diamond-pattern side panels bearing the denomination "75" in bold numerals at left and right. The upper register carries a header panel in Gothic script inscribed "St. Katharinen-Läuten", flanked by silhouette vignettes of two bells. The central field presents a lively silhouette composition of townsfolk engaged in the traditional St. Catherine's Day custom — adults and children in period costume, one figure raising a bell — executed in a folk-art shadow-play style signed with the monogram "HP". Below, a two-line inscription in Low German dialect provides an explanatory folk proverb. |
