| Obverse description | Central field features a bold relief depiction of the Kofel, the distinctive rocky peak characteristic of the Oberammergau landscape in the Bavarian Alps, with a small cross visible at its summit. At the base of the mountain, a schematic rendering of the village with buildings and a river or road is indicated in low relief.

| Reverse description | The central field displays the large numeral 5 in bold relief, denoting the denomination of five Pfennig. A continuous circumferential legend encircles the numeral, reading GILTIG BIS 6 MONAT NACH FRIEDENSSCHLUSS, indicating validity for six months following the conclusion of peace, a standard Notgeld redemption clause. A small six-pointed star ornament separates the beginning and end of the legend in the lower field. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime emergency coinage. |
