| Obverse description | The note is divided into three vertical panels with a red and black border. The left and right panels carry woodcut-style vignettes of industrial Ruhr mining structures — a winding tower and pit-head buildings rendered in fine black line work. The central panel bears a diamond-patterned underprint with the names of surrounding district communities arranged around a central cartouche inscribed LANDKREIS / BOCHUM in Gothic lettering, within which the denomination 75 Pfg. appears in red on a black ground. Below the central device, a Gothic-script text panel states the redemption conditions and bears the issuing authority line Der Kreis-Ausschuss des Landkreises Bochum, dated Bochum, 1. November 1921, with a serial number in green below and the printer's imprint F.A. GIMMERTHAL, LANGENDREER at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black, red, and ochre. A bold header panel at the top carries the denomination 75 Pfg. 75 in large red Gothic numerals on an ochre ground with red border rules. The central vignette, executed in an expressionist woodcut manner, shows two miners seated at rest inside a pit gallery, illuminated by a small lantern, with timber pit-props framing the scene. Below, a decorative text panel in Gothic script bears a four-line verse in red and black, framed by ornamental flourishes. |
| Reverse lettering | 75 Pfg. 75 Ade, nun ade! Herzliebste mein! Und da drunten im tiefen, finstern Schacht — bei der Nacht — da dent ich dein. |
