| Reverse description | The reverse shares the same colour palette and border treatment as the obverse, with yellow corner cartouches bearing the numeral '75' and the heading GUTSCHEIN across the top. The central vignette occupies the left two-thirds of the note and renders a lithographic street scene of Langestrasse in Horneburg, showing a cobblestoned road lined with brick townhouses rendered in a detailed illustrative style. To the right, a smaller vignette set against a brick wall shows a figure peering through a curtained window, accompanied by a red Fraktur inscription reading 'Der kluge Mann baut vor'; the issuer name runs across the full lower panel in matching Fraktur script. |

| Comments |
Horneburg — a small market settlement in Lower Saxony — issued this note through its local Fleckenssparkasse, the savings institution tied specifically to a "Flecken," a legal designation for a town with limited market rights sitting between village and full urban status. The 75 Pfennig denomination is itself characteristic of 1921 German Notgeld, when issuers filled the fractional gaps left by the chronic small-change shortage that had persisted since the war years.
Gebrüder Jänecke in Hannover were prolific Notgeld printers, handling output for dozens of municipal and institutional issuers across Lower Saxony. Nothing in the production marks this run as unusual within their catalog.
