| Obverse description | The face is dominated by a central cartouche with ornate scroll corners, set against a fine guilloche underprint repeating the district seal and the inscription KREIS MOSBACH in light grey. The issuer's name KREIS MOSBACH appears in bold letterpress at the top of the cartouche, below which the denomination FÜNF MARK is printed in large bold Gothic type, flanked left and right by circular value medallions each bearing the numeral 5 over MARK. A red typeset serial number is placed at the upper centre, and the full text of the legal tender clause, date MOSBACH, 15. November 1918, the authority line Kreis-Ausschuß, and two manuscript signatures appear within the cartouche body, all surrounded by an elaborate geometric engine-turned border pattern. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a finely printed topographic vignette of a Mosbach townscape set within the same shaped cartouche as the face, with a church steeple and half-timbered building rising above mature trees reflected in a stream in the foreground, rendered in detailed letterpress illustration. Circular value medallions inscribed 5 MARK occupy the left and right margins, framed by the identical concentric-circle guilloche border that surrounds the entire note. No textual inscriptions appear on the reverse beyond the denomination numerals in the side medallions. |
