Obverse description Yellow-ground central vignette bearing the municipal coat of arms of Steinfeld — an eagle with spread wings clutching an arrow above a red, white, and black draped shield — flanked on each side by the denomination numeral '75' in red with ornamental scrollwork, above the inscription 'PFENNIG' in bold. The upper border carries the town name 'STEINFELD' in large capitals on a blue ground, while the patriotic motto runs vertically along both lateral borders. A lower orange-tinted panel contains the serial number at left and the validity date 'GÜLTIG BIS 30. NOVEMBER 1921' alongside the municipal authority legend 'DER GEMEINDEVORSTAND' with two manuscript signatures at right.

Reverse description The central vignette presents a rural harvest scene rendered in a coloured lithographic style: a horse-drawn cart laden with a large hay bale occupies the foreground, with a male figure atop and a woman carrying a rake standing to the left amid a flowering field, while a traditional windmill rises in the middle distance against a clouded sky. To the right, a decorative cartouche on a yellow ground carries the motto, below which a six-quartered heraldic shield displaying the arms of Schleswig-Holstein and associated symbols — including a heart, a lion, a crescent, a tree, a fish, and other charges — is surmounted by a crowned shield bearing the letter 'T'. The lower border panel reads 'NOTGELDSCHEIN STEINFELD' in bold white capitals on a blue ground.
