| Obverse description | Green guilloche underprint covers the field, with the denomination '10 Mark' repeated in the four corners and along both lateral margins within a scrollwork border. A small vignette of Altona's city gate with twin spires is centred between the Gothic-script title 'Aushilfsschein der Stadt Altona' and the large blackletter denomination 'Zehn Mark'. Below, a multi-line letterpress text in German states the conditions of acceptance, dated 'Altona, den 2. November 1918', and four facsimile signatures of municipal officials appear at the foot. |
