| Obverse description | The octagonal field features the crowned municipal coat of arms of Ludwigshafen am Rhein centrally positioned, displaying a quartered shield with the Bavarian lozengy pattern and other heraldic charges, surmounted by a civic crown. The legend STADT LUDWIGSHAFEN AM RH curves along the upper periphery in raised Latin characters. The rim is bordered by a continuous row of raised beads encircling the entire octagonal planchet. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the large bold numeral '5' denoting the denomination, enclosed within a raised rope or twisted-cord inner circle. The circular legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE runs along the upper periphery between the rope border and the beaded outer rim, with three small six-pointed stars spaced along the lower arc serving as decorative separators. The plain octagonal field is unadorned beyond these elements, reflecting the utilitarian character of this wartime notgeld issue. |
