| Reverse description | The denomination is presented in two lines — numeral '5' above the word 'HELLER' — centered within a symmetrical laurel wreath composed of two curving branches tied at the base with a ribbon bow. The wreath is rendered with fine botanical detail, with berried sprigs visible throughout. The field within the wreath is plain and unadorned, allowing the denomination lettering to stand prominently. The overall design is restrained and classical, consistent with German colonial coinage of the Wilhelmine period. |
