| Obverse description | Octagonal zinc notgeld token with a pearl border running along the inner edge of all eight sides. The numeral '5' appears prominently in the central field, flanked by a circular dot border. A circular legend in raised Latin characters surrounds the central denomination, reading 'A. HERBST & M. OSTERTAG BAUGESCHÄFT' at the top and 'NÜRNBERG' at the base, separated by six-pointed star ornaments. The overall design is utilitarian in style, consistent with German wartime small-change substitute coinage. |

| Reverse description | Octagonal reverse displaying a pearl border along the inner rim of all eight sides. A twisted rope circle occupies the mid-field, enclosing the large numeral '5' at center. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' runs along the upper periphery within the pearl border, denoting the token's function as a small-change substitute. Three six-pointed star ornaments punctuate the lower legend area at even intervals. The composition and layout are characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the World War I era. |
