| Obverse description | Central field bears the large denomination numeral '5' with a lowercase 'c' and dash below, denoting five centimes. The circular legend VILLE DE SAINT-GERMAIN-EN-LAYE runs around the periphery. At the base of the coin, flanked by two five-pointed stars, appears a small lozenge mintmark identifying the manufacturer. The design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with World War I-era municipal emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '5c' with a dash is rendered in large incuse-style numerals at the centre of an otherwise plain field. Above and below the denomination, small stylised floral or rosette ornaments serve as the sole decorative elements. The reverse is entirely devoid of additional legends, presenting a stark and minimalist design characteristic of French municipal token coinage of the early twentieth century. |
