| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse is framed by a decorative border with the denomination '75 Pfg.' repeated in red at each corner. A central vignette in a letterpress colour print renders a street scene at Bad Harzburg, with an early motor bus at the left, a grand civic building with a red-tiled roof at centre, and the Brunswick Lion monument at the right, all set against a Harz mountain backdrop with pine trees flanking the composition. The issuer's name and redemption text appear in a text block at the lower centre, with the printer's imprint 'Druckerei Appelhans, Braunschweig.' along the bottom margin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse carries a lively colour-print cartoon vignette in the style of F. Jüttner, showing an open-top motor bus crowded with tourists on the Burgplatz (Castle Place) in Brunswick, with the Brunswick Lion sculpture on its pedestal to the right and pine trees in the background. A child in the foreground runs alongside the departing bus, adding a humorous narrative quality characteristic of Weimar-era Notgeld art. The denomination '75' appears within a circle at upper centre, with 'Pfennige' lettered in a flowing script above it, and the issuer's name runs along the lower margin. |

| Opmerkingen |
Kraftverkehrsgesellschaft m.b.H. was Braunschweig's municipal motor transport company, and this Notgeld issue was a practical response to the chronic small-change shortage that paralyzed everyday commerce across Germany in 1921. Local firms, utilities, and transit operators were effectively licensed by necessity to print their own low-denomination scrip. Appelhans was a well-established Braunschweig press with a long history of quality commercial printing, and the watermarked paper here is a cut above the thinner, more disposable stock used by many comparable Notgeld issuers of the same period.
F. Jüttner's involvement as designer is the most distinctive detail — his name appears on a range of Braunschweig municipal scrip from this period, suggesting a deliberate house style rather than ad hoc production.
