| Obverse description | Multicolour letterpress vignette centred on a stylised map of the African continent in yellow, framed by two tall palm trees in green and dark brown at left and right. The former German colonial territories — Togo, Kamerun, Deutsch-Südwest, and Deutsch-Ostafrika — are marked with small tricolour flag vignettes, with Kiautschau and Deutsche Südseeinseln indicated at lower left and right respectively, spanning the years 1884–1918. A broad blue panel at the foot carries the denomination numeral 75 within a circle flanked by the validity and series inscriptions, above the facsimile signature of the Geschäftsführung. |

| Reverse description | Green and brown letterpress design with a central rectangular portrait vignette in brown, showing Dr. Carl Peters in left-facing profile bust, rendered in fine cross-hatched intaglio style, set against a lightly hatched background. Tropical palm frond motifs fill the lateral panels on either side of the portrait, with denomination roundels reading 75 Pf. at upper left and upper right. The artist's name Kleinschmidt appears at lower right of the portrait vignette. A green header band carries the subject's name in Gothic script, and a footer band bears the commemorative legend. |
