| Obverse description | Plain field bearing a large numeral '5' denoting the denomination, centrally positioned within a recessed rectangular frame with a beaded inner border along the upper edge. The numeral is rendered in bold relief in a rudimentary, hand-engraved style characteristic of emergency siege coinage. The surrounding field is flat and unadorned, consistent with hastily produced wartime currency cast in lead. |

| Reverse description | Plain, slightly concave field featuring the abbreviated Latin inscription 'Milit.' (short for Militär, denoting military authority) contained within a recessed rectangular cartouche of plain design. The lettering is coarsely rendered in low relief, reflecting the primitive casting technique employed under siege conditions. The remainder of the field is blank and irregular, typical of emergency issues produced with minimal equipment. |
