| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in dark green intaglio on a light green underprint, with the large denomination numeral "5" at centre supported by an elaborate guilloche vignette of interlocking scrollwork. To the right, a classical female figure — Europa — rides upon a bull, set against radiating sunburst lines. The word "fünf" in Gothic script and "DEUTSCHE MARK" in serif capitals appear below the central numeral, with the issuing authority inscription and date along the lower margin above two facsimile signatures. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is rendered in dark green intaglio on a light green ground, dominated by a large central denomination numeral "5" rising from an intricate mass of engine-turned guilloche ornaments composed of concentric ellipses, spirals, and lathe-work rosettes. The word "fünf" in Gothic lettering and "DEUTSCHE MARK" appear beneath the central vignette, with the word "BANKNOTE" to the upper left. A small guilloche medallion enclosing the numeral "5" is positioned at the lower right, while the anti-counterfeiting legal warning runs vertically along the left margin. |
