| Reverse description | The reverse carries a multicolour lithographic vignette of a village street scene rendered in teal, ochre, and green, with a tall church spire and traditional North German architecture receding toward a clouded sky. The scene is framed within a black border, with decorative scroll cartouches at each side bearing hatched ornamental detail. A ribbon banner arching across the upper portion of the vignette carries a two-line poetic inscription in Fraktur script, and the denomination '75 Pfg.' is printed in ochre at the lower left and right corners. |

Rellingen is a small parish community north of Hamburg, and like hundreds of similarly modest German municipalities, it issued Kleingeldscheine during the acute coin shortage that followed the First World War. The 75 Pfennig denomination is a mid-series value — neither the lowest nor the highest — and suggests a reasonably complete local emission rather than a single emergency stopgap. Municipal issues from communities this small were printed in limited quantities, often by regional printers with no particular distinction, and rarely circulated far beyond the issuing parish.
