| Obverse description | The obverse carries a central vignette of a nude male athlete in a dynamic running pose, holding an olive branch aloft, set against a classical Ionic column with the red Hamburg coat-of-arms castle towers as an underprint in the background. The date '12.–24. AUGUST 1921' is inscribed at the top, while the lower panel bears the bold letterpress legend 'KULTUR u. SPORT-WOCHE HAMBURG' above the denomination medallion '75 PF.' in a dark circular cartouche. Marginal text details the redemption conditions, issue series 'AUSGABE A / 1.–10. Tausend', and a facsimile signature of the management, with the designer's name 'W. KLEINSCHMIDT' in the lower right margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a detailed letterpress vignette of the Hamburger Michel (St. Michaelis Church) with its distinctive Baroque tower rendered in black and green tones against a warm beige stippled sky, framed by vertical column borders in green. A horizontal tricolor band in black, white, and red — the German merchant flag — runs across the lower portion of the vignette, centred with a dark circular '75 PF.' denomination medallion. Quotation inscriptions in Gothic script occupy the upper and lower margins of the note. |
