| Obverse description | Printed in dark brown and ochre tones directly onto natural tan leather, the obverse carries a panoramic vignette of the Pößneck townscape with a church and historic tannery buildings across the centre, over which a large numeral '5' is superimposed as an underprint. A diagonal banner in the upper left bears the Notgeld inscription identifying Pößneck as the old tannery town, while the denomination in bold Gothic lettering occupies the upper right. The lower portion bears the issuance date, the signatures of the Gemeindevorsteher and Gemeinderat within a cartouche, and the circular municipal seal of the Gemeinde Pößneck to the right, all within a decorative ruled border. |

| Reverse description | Printed in deep black on the reverse side of the tan leather substrate, the design is centred on a flat hide silhouette against which an upholstered leather armchair is rendered in fine detail. Surrounding the central vignette are illustrations of leather goods — a briefcase, handbag, suitcase, hat, gloves, boots and a cylindrical travel bag — each associated with the name of a local Pößneck leather manufacturer arranged around the field. A bold banner scroll across the upper portion carries the legend 'Erzeugnisse aus Pößnecker Leder', celebrating the town's tanning industry, all within a silver-ruled decorative border. |
