| Obverse description | Central design features a medieval cog (Hanseatic sailing vessel) rendered in low relief, depicted in profile sailing on stylized waves, with a large numeral '5' prominently displayed to the upper left of the ship. A small star appears at the top of the mast. The surrounding legend, rendered in Gothic Fraktur blackletter script, reads 'FREIE STADT DANZIG' along the upper arc and 'FÜNF GULDEN' along the lower arc, with the date '1925' incorporated into the upper legend. The overall design evokes Danzig's historic maritime mercantile identity. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the heraldic arms of the Free City of Danzig at center: an oval shield bearing two crosses beneath a crown, supported on either side by rampant lions facing inward. The motto 'NEC TEMERE NEC TIMIDE' (Neither rashly nor timidly) is inscribed in three lines in the upper field in roman capital letters. The word 'PROBE' (Pattern) appears in small lettering in the lower exergue, confirming the piece's status as a trial strike. The design is executed in a clean, classically restrained style with well-defined relief. |
