| Obverse description | Printed in green, red, and brown tones, the obverse is framed by an ornate interlaced wave-and-leaf foliate border, with the denomination numeral '5' set in red-dotted circular cartouches at each corner, flanked by symmetrical oak or hazel foliage sprays. The central field bears the issuing authority's name 'Nesselwang' and the date 'Novemb. 1918' in Gothic blackletter script, above a three-line validity clause, with the town's heraldic shield — a baroque cartouche in red and gold bearing a green plant motif — occupying the centre. A manuscript mayoral signature appears above the printed serial number in red, and the artist's name 'Heinz Schirstl' is inscribed in small lettering at the lower right. |

| Reverse description | The reverse mirrors the obverse in its green, red, and brown colour scheme and interlaced foliate border, with the denomination numeral '5' repeated in red-dotted circular cartouches at left and right centre, each flanked by stylised leafy branches. A central oval vignette, enclosed by a decorative wreath with red Art Nouveau ornamental details, presents a finely rendered view of the Nesselwang parish church with its prominent steeple set against a clouded sky. The issuer's name 'Marktgemeinde Nesselwang.' runs in Gothic blackletter across the top, 'Fünf Mark' appears in large display script along the lower panel, and the printer's imprint 'DRUCK SCHWARZ LINDENBERG, ALLG.' is set in small capitals beneath the lower border. |
