75 PF Notgeld, Itzehoe, Anyone who can give a translation of this note would be greatly appreciated.
This and several other Itzehoe notes were designed by Wenzel Hablik. Much more about his life and work at the Wenzel Hablik Museum.

Comments
So I guess I wil not be able to pay my Coal bill this month now that this note has expired. Thanks for the translation.
This note belongs to a "habit" of that period to create some kind of cash (in this case for the city of Itzehoe) they could use to replace the national cash which had lost all it's worth.
The note provides a list of different prices probably in order to clarify that they can be exchanged for the specified values. (Electric Light, coal, wood, soap ...) In addition it also gives an indication about the lifetime of the note (september 30th, 1921)
