| Obverse description | The obverse is set against a yellow guilloche underprint, over which the issuing text and denomination are rendered in ornate Fraktur script in the central panel. Flanking this panel on both sides are identical vignettes in blue and black, each presenting the city arms of Grünberg — a fortified gate with towers — enclosed within elaborate grapevine borders bearing clusters of grapes, a reference to the town's established viticultural heritage. A lower strip contains a handwritten date line reading 'Grünberg i. Schl., d.' alongside a serial number line marked 'Konto B', with the numeral '75' printed in blue at each lower corner and the printer's imprint 'FLEMMING-WISKOTT A.-G. GLOGAU' below the border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black and blue on a grey ground, with the central vignette presenting a detailed letterpress view of the Grünberg Rathaus (town hall), its prominent baroque tower rising above the surrounding civic buildings and a tree-lined square; the captions 'Rathaus' and 'Kötschau' appear at the upper left and upper right of the vignette respectively. The heading 'Obst- und Weinstadt' in bold Fraktur lettering runs across the top of the note, flanked by the numeral '75' in blue on each side, while the town name 'Grünberg' in large decorative Fraktur occupies the lower panel. Vertical side borders in black carry scrolling vine and grape-cluster ornaments with blue grape accents, echoing the viticultural motif of the obverse. |
