| Obverse description | The obverse carries a detailed letterpress vignette of the Vacha Widmark building (erected 1613, serving as Rathaus since 1911), rendered in brown and green tones against a cream ground. A narrative text in Gothic script runs along the left margin and lower border, recounting Napoleon's overnight stay at the building and his subsequent flight when disturbed by Cossacks in 1813. A figure in period dress stands before the building at lower centre, with a sign reading 'Ratskeller' visible on the facade, and an artist's signature 'J. Hoffmann' appears at lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in brown and teal with a central shield-shaped vignette bearing the city arms of Vacha — a standing figure of Saint Boniface holding a palm frond and a book, dated 1631 — set against a green guilloche ground and flanked by ornate scrollwork underprint panels. The heading 'STADT-VACHA' is set in large Gothic lettering across the top, with marginal text panels in Gothic script at left and right providing historical notes on Vacha's civic history. Denomination panels reading '75 Pfennig' appear in teal at lower left and lower right, and a red overprinted series letter and serial number are applied across the centre field. |
