| Obverse description | The upper portion of the note is dominated by a bold, expressionist vignette of a silhouetted palm tree set against a large stylized sun in orange and yellow tones, rising over a blue sea rendered within a triangular frame. The dates 1682, 1884, and 1918 appear flanking the sun, with circular medallions at lower left and right bearing the Hamburg castle arms and a key emblem respectively. Below the central vignette, large bold sans-serif lettering reads the issuing authority and cities, with the denomination '75 PFENNIG' centred between the validity clause and the facsimile signature of Franz Grewe as Geschäftsführung. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a full-face multicolour landscape vignette of the Iltisberge hills in the former German leasehold of Kiautschau (Jiaozhou), with golden sandy slopes, scattered vegetation, a decorative iron gate in the foreground, a bay and coastal settlement in the middle distance, and blue mountains on the horizon. The denomination '75 PFENNIG' appears in all four corners within the ornate brown border frame, with the territory name 'KIAUTSCHAU' inscribed at the top centre and 'ILTISBERGE' at the bottom centre. |
