| Obverse description | Within an octagonal zinc flan, the large numeral '5' occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief. The denomination is enclosed by a beaded inner circle, with the circular legend 'JÄGER-KANTINE' arching across the upper portion and 'MÜLHAUSEN ELS.' along the lower arc, all in raised Latin characters. A further outer beaded border runs parallel to the octagonal rim, framing the entire design. The overall style is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime notgeld canteen token production. |

| Reverse description | The central field displays the large numeral '5' in bold raised relief, surrounded by a rope or cable inner border. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' ('small change substitute token') runs around the upper periphery in raised Latin lettering. Three six-pointed stars are evenly spaced along the lower arc between the inner rope border and an outer beaded border that follows the octagonal shape of the flan. The design is austere and functional, reflecting the emergency nature of this World War I canteen token. |
