| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is dominated by a central oval vignette enclosed within concentric guilloche bands, presenting a landscape view of the Lichtenburg castle ruin set atop a wooded hill. The caption 'Lichtenburg' appears above the vignette in Gothic script. The denomination numeral '5' is printed in each of the four corners, with mirror-image '5' figures in the lower pair, against a fine wavy-line guilloche underprint. A repeating geometric border frames the entire design. |

Ostheim vor der Rhön is a small Franconian market town, and its Vorschuß- und Sparverein — a cooperative lending and savings association — was exactly the kind of local institution that resorted to printing its own Notgeld when small-denomination coins disappeared from circulation during the final year of the First World War. The 5 Pfennig face value is about as low as wartime emergency issues go; coin hoarding had made even the smallest transactions difficult by mid-1918.
Selmar Bayer of Berlin printed a considerable volume of provincial Notgeld during this period, working for dozens of small municipalities and cooperative bodies simultaneously.
