| Obverse description | Within a raised pearl border, the large numeral '5' occupies the central field, serving as the denomination indicator. A circular legend surrounds the numeral, reading 'MANSFELDSCHE GEWERKSCHAFT' along the upper arc and 'EISLEBEN' along the lower arc, all in raised Latin capital letters. The design is plain and utilitarian, characteristic of wartime emergency coinage (Notgeld), with no additional decorative elements in the field. |

| Reverse description | Within a raised pearl border, the central field features a dynamic depiction of a mounted armored knight on horseback, thrusting a lance downward to slay a dragon prostrate beneath the horse's hooves, a motif evoking Saint George and recalling the heraldic traditions of the Mansfeld region. The date '1918' is divided by the equestrian figure, with '19' to the left and '18' to the right in the field. Below the central device, the motto 'DENNOCH' (meaning 'Nevertheless' or 'Yet still') is inscribed in raised Latin capitals along the lower arc, expressing defiance characteristic of wartime Notgeld issues. |
