| Obverse description | The obverse of this square klippe pattern features the German Federal Eagle (Bundesadler) at centre, depicted with wings spread and head turned to the right, rendered in a bold, stylised manner consistent with post-war West German coinage design. The circular legend BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND arcs along the upper periphery, while the denomination 5 MARK and the word DEUTSCHE appear in the lower portion of the inner circle. The mint mark J (Hamburg) and the date 1971 flank the eagle's tail feathers. The serial number 6049 is engraved in the lower right corner of the klippe field, outside the coin design area, identifying this as an individual pattern specimen. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this klippe pattern bears the portrait of Martin Luther, the German theologian and leader of the Protestant Reformation, whose likeness was the subject of the commemorative 5 Deutsche Mark issue. The effigy is presented in profile or three-quarter bust, accompanied by identifying inscriptions. As this side is not fully visible in the available image, the description follows standard numismatic references for the KM#Pn100 pattern, which mirrors the design of the issued commemorative coinage dedicated to the 450th anniversary of the Diet of Worms. |
