| Obverse description | Central field features a large numeral '5' above the inscription 'PFENNIG' in serif capitals. The circular legend 'STADT BACKNANG' arcs across the upper portion and '• NOTGELD •' across the lower portion, both reading clockwise within a beaded border that runs along the coin's rim. The design is plain and utilitarian in character, consistent with German municipal Notgeld emergency coinage of the World War I era. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays three stylized horizontal fish or herring figures arranged in a stacked composition at the center of the field, each rendered with fine incised detail suggesting scales and fins. These charges are derived from the traditional heraldic arms of Backnang and serve as the municipal device. The design is contained within a beaded border following the coin's rim, with the remainder of the field left plain. |
