Obverse description Colourful letterpress vignette in yellow, green, and blue, centred on a stylised map of Africa with the former German colonial territories — Togo, Kamerun, Deutsch-Südwest, and Deutsch-Ostafrika — highlighted in red; the territories of Kiautschau and Deutsche Südseeinseln are also indicated. Tall palm trees frame the composition at left and right, with the legend 'AFRIKA' arching across the upper field. The lower panel carries the full event title 'DEUTSCH-HANSEATISCHER KOLONIALGEDENKTAG' above the cities 'HAMBURG BERLIN BREMEN', the denomination '75 PF.' in a central circle, the series and date 'Serie B. 4.XI.1921 IV', validity text, and a manuscript signature of the Geschäftsführung.

The motto 'Gedenkt unserer Kolonien' is inscribed across the lower panel in Gothic script.
