| Obverse description | The face is printed in blue, purple, and black on a dense multicolour guilloche underprint, with large numeral '5' at each of the four corners. A central circular guilloche medallion, carrying a white 'M' monogram at its core, is flanked by the printed serial number. The inscription 'ALLIIERTE MILITÄRBEHÖRDE' runs across the top border within a dark letterpress band, while 'IN UMLAUF GESETZT IN DEUTSCHLAND' and 'FÜNF MARK' appear in bold purple letterpress across the face, with 'SERIE 1944' printed at left and right centre. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed entirely in terracotta-orange on a pale lavender ground, with an elaborate symmetrical guilloche engine-turned design filling the entire field. A large lobed central medallion encloses a dense lathe-work pattern from which a bold white 'M' monogram rises in relief. The border is composed of fine repetitive ornamental bands with corner cartouches, with no denomination numerals or text inscriptions present. |
