| Obverse description | Salmon-pink guilloche underprint covers the entire face, with the large numeral '5' at left accompanied by a small floral vignette at its base. The denomination 'PFENNIG' is printed in bold letterpress across the centre. Issuing text above reads 'Gegen diesen Gutschein zahlt die Städtische Sparkasse Brake dem Einlieferer', the date 'Brake, den 1. Juni 1917' appears below the denomination, a manuscript signature of the Stadtmagistrat is present at lower centre, the circular seal of the Stadtkämmerei Brake i.O. is at lower right, and the serial number is printed vertically along the right margin. |

| Reverse description | The reverse carries an all-over security underprint in pale green, composed of an interlocking lattice of ornamental guilloche medallions interspersed with the repeated text 'STADTMAGISTRAT' and the year '1917', with a stylised monogram motif at the centre of each medallion. No additional text or vignette is present; the pattern serves entirely as an anti-counterfeiting device. |
