| Obverse description | Light blue ground with a bold Art Deco letterpress design. The large word 'GUTSCHEIN' dominates the upper half in heavy black block lettering with gold highlights, flanked at upper right by a starburst ornament and the denomination numeral '75'. A sweeping red ribbon-banner in wavy form occupies the centre, with a smaller starburst motif at lower left. The expiry date and issuer details appear in the lower margin in black serif type. |

| Reverse description | Tan-ground note with a humorous caricature vignette in the centre: a roguish figure in a flat cap and check trousers strides away carrying a large money sack marked '10000 MK.' over his shoulder, rendered in coloured letterpress with fine line work. The denomination numeral '75' in red appears to the left of the vignette. A two-line rhyming couplet is set in a ruled panel at the top, and a second couplet in a matching panel at the foot, together forming a four-line comic verse alluding to inflation and the issuer's trade in wines and liqueurs. |
