75 Pfennig Verein für Heimatschutz und Heimatgeschichte

This is Weimar-era Notgeld — emergency small-change scrip issued by a local cultural and heritage preservation society in Leer, East Frisia, rather than by a municipality or bank. The issuing body, the Verein für Heimatschutz und Heimatgeschichte, was a civic association dedicated to regional identity, which made it an unusual but not unique type of Notgeld issuer during the 1919–1922 period when coin shortages pushed the responsibility for small denomination currency onto almost any organization willing to underwrite it.

Arthur Götting of Preetz supplied the design — a detail worth noting, since Preetz is in Holstein, some distance from Leer, suggesting the commission traveled through Hartung & Co. in Hamburg rather than originating locally.
