| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the municipal coat of arms of Kirchenlamitz occupies the central field, depicting a quartered shield surmounted by a mural crown with crenellations, supported by decorative baroque scrollwork on either side. The shield displays architectural and landscape elements, referencing the town's identity. A circular legend in Latin characters reads STADTGEMEINDE at the top and KIRCHENLAMITZ at the bottom, separated by five-pointed star stops at the lateral positions. The overall design is rendered in low relief with a plain inner field framing the armorial device. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded border, the large numeral '5' is prominently displayed in the center of the field, serving as the principal denomination indicator. The circular legend KRIEGS-NOTMÜNZE (meaning 'war emergency coin') arcs across the upper portion of the field, while the date 1917 is inscribed along the lower arc, both separated by five-pointed star stops at the lateral positions. The design is uncluttered and functional, characteristic of German World War I notgeld coinage, with the denomination and date rendered in clear, bold relief against the flat field. |
