| Obverse description | A raised pearl border frames the octagonal field, with the municipal coat of arms of Saarburg prominently centered — a heraldic shield depicting a diagonal bend with stylized deer antlers or branches. The legend SAARBURG i.LOTH. arcs along the upper portion of the pearl border, identifying the issuing city of Saarburg in Lorraine. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with wartime emergency coinage production. |

| Reverse description | A raised pearl border runs along the octagonal periphery of the field. The word KRIEGSGELD (meaning 'war money') curves along the upper arc outside an inner ring of raised beads. Within the central field, the large numeral '5' denotes the denomination, with the date 1917 placed below it. Small floral rosette ornaments separate the legend elements at the lower portion of the inner bead circle, lending a decorative accent to this otherwise austere wartime issue. |
