| Obverse description | Olive-green and black letterpress note with an ornate oak-leaf border framing the entire design. The upper central panel carries the issuer legend and denomination in Gothic blackletter script, flanked left and right by circular numeral '10' medallions above rectangular 'Heller' panels, all set against a foliate background. Below the text panel, a circular vignette encloses a pen-and-ink portrait bust of a bearded male figure — identified below as Stöfl Hadinger — flanked by crossed halberds, with the anti-counterfeiting legend at lower left and the validity date at lower right; the engraver's credit 'Enc. v. F. Standler.' appears at the bottom right corner. |

| Reverse description | Printed in black on pale grey-green paper, the reverse is dominated by a large arched vignette rendered in fine line engraving, illustrating a dramatic woodland battle scene — the 'Kampf im Emlinger Holz am 9. November 1626' — with armoured soldiers engaged in close combat among birch trees. The vignette is set within a heavily hatched rectangular border with cobblestone-pattern side panels and acanthus-scroll corner ornaments, the caption inscribed in Gothic script along the lower edge of the central panel. |
