Obverse description A continuous pearl border frames the entire obverse field. The municipal inscription STADTGEMEINDE arcs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters, with a five-pointed star at the apex serving as a divider. The place name PRESSATH is boldly struck in large raised letters across the centre of the field. A second five-pointed star appears at the base of the design, mirroring the upper star and completing the layout symmetrically.

Reverse description A continuous pearl border encircles the reverse field, matching the decorative treatment of the obverse. The denomination numeral '5' is rendered in a large, bold typeface and placed prominently at the centre of the otherwise plain field, serving as the sole design element. The composition is stark and functional, characteristic of wartime Notgeld emergency coinage produced under material constraints.
