| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is dominated by a bold Art Deco vignette of a dark palm tree silhouette set against a large stylised sun in orange and yellow radiating tones, rising above a triangular blue ocean scene rendered in fine line work. Flanking the lower portion of the central vignette are two circular medallions: at left, the arms of Hamburg showing a white castle, and at right, a circular device with crossed keys. The denomination '75 PFENNIG' is printed in large type at centre bottom, flanked by text panels noting the expiry date of 31 März 1922, issue date 4.XI.1921, Series A, and the manuscript signature of the Geschäftsführung; the years '1682', '1884', and '1918' are inscribed around the sun. |

This note is notgeld, not currency — issued in 1921 by a commemorative colonial association marking the "German Hanseatic Colonial Remembrance Day," a politically charged event organized in Hamburg, Berlin, and Bremen to mourn the loss of Germany's colonial territories under the Treaty of Versailles. The Weimar-era notgeld craze provided cover for exactly this kind of propaganda-adjacent collecting piece, printed in series and sold to enthusiasts rather than spent at market stalls.
The A5 designation places this within the Deutsch-Ostafrika subset of a larger series covering Germany's former colonies. Franz Grewe signed the issue in his capacity as a colonial association official, not as a bank director.
