| Reverse description | Central field bears the denomination inscription arranged in four lines: the numeral '5' at top, followed by 'NEU-GUINEA' and 'MARK' on successive lines, with the date '1894' below, all enclosed within a wreath of two olive or laurel branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The mint mark 'A' for the Berlin Mint appears in the exergue below the wreath. The curved legend 'NEU-GUINEA COMPAGNIE' arcs along the upper periphery within a beaded border. The lettering is rendered in a clean serif typeface consistent with Imperial German coinage practice. |
