| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is printed in dark blue on plain buff paper and enclosed by the same multi-row ornamental border as the obverse. At centre, the municipal coat of arms — a rampant bear with a key on a shield — is set within an elaborate arrangement of eight guilloche rosettes of varying sizes that form a symmetrical cruciform composition. Flanking this central vignette, the numeral "5" appears twice in large guilloche-work circles. Below the design, the denomination is restated in Fraktur script, and the printer's imprint appears at the foot of the note. |

Biebrich am Rhein was an independent town when this note was issued, though not for much longer — it was absorbed into Wiesbaden in 1926. The Magistrat issued emergency currency in 1918 under the same wartime necessity that produced thousands of German Notgeld pieces: coin metals had been requisitioned, small change had effectively vanished from circulation, and local authorities were left to fill the gap themselves.
August Osterrieth of Frankfurt printed a substantial volume of municipal Notgeld for towns across the Rhine-Main region during this period, making attribution straightforward where press credits survive.
