| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays a single large numeral '5' centrally positioned in the field, rendered in a plain, bold serif style. The coin is framed by a continuous beaded border running close to the rim, leaving a smooth, unadorned field surrounding the denomination figure. No additional legends, symbols, or decorative elements are present, giving the reverse a stark and minimalist appearance characteristic of privately issued emergency tokens of the Weimar inflation era. |

Fontaine & Co. G.m.b.H. was among hundreds of German private firms that issued emergency coinage — Notgeld — during the acute metal shortages of World War I and its chaotic aftermath. Frankfurt's commercial sector produced a notably dense concentration of these issues, as municipal authorities struggled to maintain small-denomination liquidity while federal coinage disappeared into hoarding and industrial melting. Zinc was the material of last resort, chosen precisely because it held little intrinsic value and was therefore less likely to vanish from circulation the moment it was struck.
