| Obverse description | The Federal Eagle of Germany, rendered in the stylized heraldic form adopted by the Federal Republic, occupies the central field with wings spread and talons visible at lower center. The denomination '10' appears prominently in the lower field, flanked by the date '1992' and the mint mark 'G', with the word 'DEUTSCHE MARK' completing the value inscription. The circular legend 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' runs along the upper periphery. The overall design follows the standard obverse type used for West German commemorative 10 Mark silver issues of this period. |

| Reverse description | A three-quarter bust portrait of Käthe Kollwitz faces right in the right portion of the field, depicted in a expressionist, sculptural style consistent with her own artistic legacy. To the left, a raised clenched fist is shown against what appears to be a drawing board or easel, evoking both her artistic practice and her socially engaged, humanist themes. The curved legend 'KÄTHE KOLLWITZ' arches across the upper field. Below the central design, the artist's birth and death years '1867' and '1945' are separated by a raised dot, flanked by a six-pointed star at left and a dagger symbol at right indicating the respective dates. |
