Obverse description Plain, undecorated field bearing the issuer's name arranged in a circular legend in Fraktur blackletter script. The word 'Stadt' curves along the upper arc while 'Münden' follows the lower arc, with a stylised six-petalled flower ornament serving as a central divider between the two words. The lettering is bold and raised, consistent with the utilitarian character of post-war German municipal notgeld.
Obverse script Latin (Fraktur blackletter)

Reverse description Central field dominated by the large raised numeral '5' denoting the face value, set within a plain circular field. The word 'Wertmarke' (value token) curves along the upper arc in Roman script, while a decorative scrollwork or flourish ornament occupies the lower portion of the field below the numeral. The overall design is stark and functional, reflecting the emergency nature of this post-war municipal token issue.
