| Vorderseitenbeschreibung | Blue and red letterpress on yellow underprint. A faint allegorical figure watermark-style vignette occupies the centre field, flanked symmetrically by two heraldic shield cartouches bearing vertical red and white stripes in the upper corners. The denomination '5 Cm' appears twice in oval guilloche frames at lower centre-left and lower centre-right, with the issuing committee title set in a decorative banner across the top and three manuscript signature lines with role titles along the lower margin. |

The text is arranged in a strictly typeset layout with no pictorial vignette; a large red overprint letter appears at centre, serving as a control mark.

Berchem was an independent municipality south of Antwerp until its absorption into the city in 1983, and during the German occupation of World War I it was one of hundreds of Belgian communes forced to issue their own small-denomination emergency paper when coin metal vanished from circulation almost overnight. The Plaatselijk Komiteit — a local relief and administrative committee — stepped in to fill the gap, contracting the local printer J. Coore rather than the larger Antwerp houses.
Hyper-local production like this makes condition survival rates erratic. Small-town print runs were rarely precise, paper quality was whatever was available, and few recipients thought to preserve them.
