| Obverse description | Red-ground note with a repeated cursive script underprint reading 'E. Merck' across the entire field. A bold numeral '5' with a Pfennig symbol appears in the upper left, while a stark black silhouette vignette of the Merck factory complex — with a tall chimney stack, water tower, and sawtooth-roofed production halls — occupies the centre. The issuer's name 'E. MERCK · DARMSTADT' is set in roman capitals along the lower margin, above a decorative blackletter inscription reading 'Notgeld'. |

| Reverse description | Plain buff/ochre ground with a fine serrated black border frame. At centre, an oval black vignette encloses the Merck trade emblem — a distillation retort over an open flame above a diamond device — surrounded by the circular legend 'E · MERCK · DARMSTADT ·' flanked by two small stars, all rendered in a bold outline style. |
