| Beschrijving keerzijde | German-language side of the same bilingual municipal obligation, identical in format and colour to the obverse, with black letterpress text on a pale green guilloche underprint enclosed by the same Greek-key border. The heading 'Die Mitausche Stadtverwaltung' is set in bold Gothic blackletter across the upper field, with '5 Rubel' repeated in all four corners. The central vignette reproduces the same heraldic city shield, flanked by the German promise-to-pay text and a detailed guarantee clause referencing 400,000 and 600,000 ruble debt instruments secured by municipal property worth 1,593,000 rubles, with a note that the bills are accepted as legal tender by official payment offices in Courland. The lower section bears the matching serial number, the resolution reference 'vom 5. Dezember 1918', the heading 'Stadthaupt:' and the same manuscript signature as the obverse. |

Jelgava — known to its German-speaking administrators as Mitau — was occupied by German forces from 1915 and remained under their control through most of 1918. This note was issued by the city administration during that occupation period, when the regular Russian Imperial monetary system had collapsed but Latvian sovereign institutions did not yet exist. Local municipal authorities across the Baltics filled the vacuum with their own emergency scrip, often in both the local language and German, reflecting the dual administrative reality on the ground.
The bilingual issuing authority name — Jelgavas pilsētas valde alongside Mitausche Stadtverwaltung — places this squarely in that uneasy transitional moment before the Latvian declaration of independence on 18 November 1918.
