The 5 mark banknote was issued by the Reichskassenschein (Imperial Treasury) of the German Empire from 1874 to 1904. An equivalent to this note, the 5 mark coin was also issued.
History[]
The first banknote.
Over the years of the German Empire's existence, the design of the 5 mark note has changed. The original design, made by the Reichskassenschein in 1874, featured putti holding a wreath under a small Reichsadler with the value on its sides on the obverse. The reverse of the original featured the value on an ornamental frame. It was mainly colored blue-green.

The second design, issued again by the Imperial Treasury, was made in 1882. The obverse of this note featured a knight with a sword and a shield depicting the Reichsadler. Near the knight is the written-out value of the note. On the reverse is the value, just like the predecessor. The obverse of the note was mainly blue-green in color, while the obverse was red to orange in color.
On the newest design (shown above-right), was issued and designed by the Royal Treasury in 1904, mainly being colored blue-green. On the obverse of the note, a woman is displayed with a shield and spear next to a putto with a pigeon. The written-out value is displayed in the top right corner. On the reverse is a dragon sitting above the value of the note.
