| Obverse description | Central field bears the heraldic shield of Strasbourg surmounted by a facing war helmet (Stahlhelm), rendered in low relief. A circular legend in Gothic-style lettering surrounds the central device, reading 'STADT STRASSBURG' to the right and upper portion, with the abbreviation 'ELS.' and the date '1918' completing the legend, separated by diamond-shaped stops. The overall design is austere and utilitarian, consistent with wartime notgeld coinage. |

| Reverse description | Large numeral '5' dominates the central field, rendered in bold relief. The word 'KRIEGSGELD' arcs in Gothic-style lettering across the upper portion of the field, flanked by small decorative stops. Below the numeral, the denomination 'Pfennig' is inscribed in Gothic script, with a small ornamental flourish beneath. The composition is plain and functional, reflecting the emergency nature of the issue. |
