| 表面の説明 | Printed in dark blue on a pale green guilloche underprint, the face is dominated by a large central oval vignette bearing the bold white letterpress denomination "FÜNF MARK" against a dark ground, flanked symmetrically by two circular rosette ornaments. The numeral "5" appears in the upper left and upper right corners, with the issuing authority "Mannschaftsgefangenenlager MERSEBURG" in a banner along the lower edge; the date "MERSEBURG, den 1. Juli 1918" and a manuscript facsimile signature of the Kommandant appear in the lower centre, while regulatory camp-currency text runs vertically along both lateral margins. A black serial number is printed vertically along the right edge. |

Mannschaftsgefangenenlager Merseburg was an enlisted men's prisoner-of-war camp in Saxony-Anhalt, and like dozens of German PoW camps in the final years of the First World War, it issued its own internal scrip to prevent captives from accumulating Reichsmark currency that could theoretically fund escape attempts. The 5 Mark denomination sits at the high end of what most camp administrations felt comfortable circulating internally — many camps capped usable scrip well below this figure.
1918 issues from German PoW camps are particularly short-lived by definition: the Armistice in November that year ended camp operations abruptly, and scrip became worthless overnight.
