| Obverse description | Circular iron notgeld token with a central circular hole. The numeral '5' in a large, bold face occupies the central field, surrounding the perforation, and is enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The peripheral legend reads 'STADT MÜHLHAUSEN I THÜRINGEN' separated by five-pointed star ornaments, all rendered in raised Latin letters. A further beaded border runs along the coin's rim, lending the design a neat, utilitarian character typical of World War I German emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | Circular reverse with a central circular hole, around which is an hourglass or bowtie-shaped ornamental device enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' arcs across the upper field in raised Latin letters, indicating the token's function as small-change substitute currency. The date '1917' appears in the lower field between two small star ornaments. The rim is defined by an outer beaded border consistent with the obverse treatment. |
