| Reverse description | Yellow-orange and red note with a central vignette of Burg Drachenfels castle perched atop a rocky hillock, rendered in fine black letterpress with a clouded sky underprint. Flanking the central vignette are two diamond-shaped heraldic panels: the left bears a cross with crossed keys on a white ground, the right a winged dragon device — both in red and black. The denomination "75" appears in black script at upper left and right within red panels, with the word "GUTSCHEIN" in bold red capitals across the top. The place name "KOENIGSWINTER (RHEIN)" is set in large red capitals along the lower border, and the caption "BURG·DRACHENFELS·1640" appears beneath the central vignette. |

| Comments |
Königswinter's tourist association — the Verkehrsverein — was among dozens of civic and commercial bodies that stepped into the vacuum left by chronic small-change shortages during the early Weimar period. This 75 Pfennig note is part of a Notgeld series that doubled as local promotion, a common enough practice, but Krings brought genuine graphic craft to the commission rather than the perfunctory effort many such issues received. H. Stürtz in Würzburg was a reliable regional printer for this type of work, handling numerous Rhineland Notgeld series in 1921.
The reference suffix .2-3/3 suggests this is the third printing variant within the series grouping — worth confirming against DeNG documentation before attributing to a specific issue date.
