| Obverse description | Central field features a tied bundle of wheat ears flanked by vine branches, with the date 1921 positioned above the motif. The entire design is encircled by a continuous legend reading UNION COMMERCIALE GUISE THEVENON, denoting the issuing commercial union and the manufacturer. The composition reflects the utilitarian, locally produced character typical of French municipal emergency coinage of the early 1920s. |

| Reverse description | The face value '5c.' is rendered in large, bold numerals and lettering at the center of the field, occupying nearly the full diameter of the flan. The central denomination is contained within a border of raised dots (grenetis) that runs along the inner edge of the coin, framing the value in a clean, unadorned composition consistent with the austere design language of French nécessité coinage. |
