| Obverse description | Central vignette of a large circular cartouche rendered in black letterpress, bearing the denomination numeral '75' in bold calligraphic Gothic script above the word 'Pfennig' in the same style. The teal-blue field flanking the cartouche on either side carries two pairs of red-glazed Marburg earthenware jugs ('Dipperchen') at the corners, each decorated with a floral motif in white. Scrollwork borders frame the upper and lower edges of the design, with the designer's name 'KURT SCHMELZ' lettered along the lower margin and the printer's imprint at the very foot. |
