| Obverse description | A small-format Kriegsnotgeld note composed entirely in letterpress typography, with the large bold numeral '5' occupying the centre field, flanked by the spelled-out denomination 'FÜNF PFENNIG'. The issuing authority inscription names the Vorschuß- und Sparverein at Ostheim, with validity and redemption conditions set out in smaller text below. The layout is strictly utilitarian, with no vignettes or ornamental elements, characteristic of the austerity-driven emergency currency issues of the First World War. |

| Obverse lettering | KRIEGS-NOTGELD / 5 / FÜNF PFENNIG |
| Reverse description | The reverse is executed in plain letterpress typography, carrying the issuing terms and the explicit obligation of the Vorschuß- und Sparverein to redeem the note at par. No vignettes, underprint, or decorative elements are present, consistent with the strictly functional production standards applied to small-denomination Notgeld in 1917. |
