| Obverse description | Green and brown Notgeld note with an intricate guilloche underprint across the entire field. At upper centre, the issuing authority title is printed in Gothic script, with validity text below; the large denomination numeral '5' flanked by 'Pf.' monograms occupies the centre. To the left, the town's coat of arms — a shield bearing a castle and a standing figure — is set within an unframed vignette, while a boxed text panel to the right designates the Kämmereikasse in Guhrau as the redemption office. Four corner medallions each contain a stylised windmill motif, the date 'Guhrau, den 1. Dezember 1920' and the issuing authority 'Der Magistrat' appear below the denomination, with two manuscript signatures and a red serial number at bottom centre; the printer's imprint runs along the very bottom edge. |

| Reverse description | Printed in green and black on a plain ground, the reverse centres on a large oval vignette enclosing a detailed letterpress view of the Guhrau town hall (Rathaus), a multi-storey Neo-Renaissance municipal building rendered with fine architectural detail. The oval is surrounded by concentric wavy-line guilloche bands, and the denomination numeral '5' appears in each of the four corners within decorative scroll cartouches. A bold banner across the top reads 'NOTGELD DER KREISSTADT GUHRAU', and the caption 'RATHAUS' is set in a plain panel at the base. |
