| Obverse description | A stylized horse head in left profile occupies the central field, rendered in low relief with a mane depicted in a decorative, somewhat impressionistic manner. The design references the horse motif emblematic of Rapp Motorenwerke, the Munich-based engine manufacturer. A circular legend frames the central device, reading 'RAPP-MOTORENWERKE' along the upper arc and 'MÜNCHEN' along the lower arc, separated by six-pointed star ornaments at each side. The plain octagonal flan presents a utilitarian aesthetic consistent with wartime Notgeld production. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '1' is prominently struck in the center of the field, indicating the denomination of one Pfennig. Surrounding the central numeral is a beaded or dotted inner circle, beyond which the circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' (small change substitute token) runs around the upper and lower arcs, flanked by star and pellet ornaments. The overall design is simple and functional, characteristic of German industrial emergency coinage (Notgeld) issued during the inflationary period of the early 1920s. |
