| Obverse lettering | Ambergau Notgeld No 083356 Wach auf, du alter Kampfesmut, Germanenblut, Berserkerwut Zum Letzten will ich werben. Wer nicht als Sklave leben mag. Dann winkt der große Rachetag Zum Sterben. Dieser Schein kann bis 31. 12. 1923 bei mir eingelöst werden. Heinr. Rehmann. Buchdruckerei, Bockenem. |
| Reverse description | The reverse carries a header band reading 'Ambergau Notgeld' with a swastika emblem, matching the obverse. The central vignette reproduces, in a multicolour lithographic style, a scene described as a relief from the Jägerhaus near Bockenem, showing a mythological or folkloric composition with a skeletal or spectral female figure emerging from a rocky cave, accompanied by a horse, a dog, and a white stag standing before flames in the background. The denomination '75 Pf' appears in large ornamental numerals within decorative panels on both left and right margins, and a lower caption band identifies the scene; geometric interlace cartouches repeat at all four corners. |

| Comments |
Bockenem is a small market town in Lower Saxony, and during the hyperinflationary emergency of the early 1920s, the authority to issue notgeld fell to practically anyone with a press and local credibility — including the printer himself. Heinrich Rehmann's Buchdruckerei issued this 75 Pfennig note as both issuer and manufacturer, a self-referential arrangement that was unusual even by notgeld standards, where the line between printer and authority was already blurred.
The denomination itself — 75 Pfennig — suggests late 1921 or 1922 issue, when fractional values still had practical purchasing power before the collapse accelerated.
