| Obverse description | Central field dominated by a large numeral '5' in bold relief. The circular legend 'LANDKREIS HALBERSTADT' runs along the periphery, flanked by small decorative star stops. The design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime emergency coinage, with a beaded or toothed border encircling the field. |

| Additional information |
Halberstadt's wartime iron notgeld coinage was struck locally to address the acute small-denomination shortage that gripped German municipal economies from 1917 onward, as copper and nickel were redirected entirely to military production. The city issued several distinct types across multiple years, and the varieties documented under Funck 185 reflect genuine die differences rather than mere cataloguing inconsistency.
