| Reverse description | Central field displays the large numeral 5 in raised relief, denoting the face value of five Pfennig, occupying the majority of the inner field. The circumferential legend KRIEGS-NOTMÜNZE curves along the upper rim in raised Latin capitals, flanked by a six-pointed star ornament at each terminus. The date 1917 appears in the lower field, and the overall design is characteristically plain and functional, consistent with German World War I emergency coinage (Kriegsnotmünzen). |

| Additional information |
Feucht is a small market town southeast of Nuremberg, and like hundreds of German municipalities in 1917, it issued emergency coinage — Notgeld — when wartime metal requisitions and hoarding stripped circulation of federal small change. Zinc was the fallback material once copper and nickel were redirected to the war effort. The Funck reference places this among the documented series, but municipal zinc pieces from towns of Feucht's size were produced in limited quantities and saw genuine local use rather than collector distribution.
