Obverse description Octagonal zinc token with a continuous pearl border following the coin's eight-sided periphery. An inner pearl circle frames the central field, within which the large numeral '5' is prominently raised in the center. The circular legend reading 'REST. ZOOL. GARTEN KÖLN' runs between the outer pearl border and the inner pearl ring, with a small star at the base. The design is bold and utilitarian, consistent with German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early 1920s.

Reverse description Octagonal reverse with a continuous pearl border following the coin's eight-sided periphery. An inner twisted rope circle encloses the central field, within which the large numeral '5' is prominently raised. The legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' arcs across the upper portion of the field between the rope border and the outer pearl rim, identifying this token as a small-change substitute. Three small stars are evenly spaced along the lower arc between the rope circle and the outer pearl border.
