5 Mark? Token or Notgeld?

My friend send me this photo for identification. But I have no idea at all. A weird one with so little information on both sides. Does any one know something about it? Is it kind of token or Notgeld?
Many thanks!

It's a werthmark - very local notgeld.

 

Is it really small in size? Looks like German spiel-munze (play money).

 

Thanks you guys!
Its diameter is about 8 or 9 mm and made of Aluminium or Zinc. Very small and light a coin.
Could you please give a further identification? Many thanks!

 

Werthmark were a local German war tokens which were issued for an appeal in a city's markets or a small numbers of shops, cafe etc. So, if the "normal" notgeld was in appeal on a whole territory of town, werthmarks were an appeal on a part territory of town only.

 

Yup, typical size and material for play money.

 

Thank you for your information, Siberian Man and Numismat!
