| Obverse description | Printed entirely in green on pale cream paper, the design is typographically composed without pictorial vignettes. A central oval cartouche, framed by fine guilloche banding and concentric dotted borders, bears the denomination legend "Zehn Mark" in bold serif lettering; circular medallions at left and right each carry the numeral "10" within beaded rings and radiating ornamental segments. The camp designation "GEFANGENENLAGER" appears in a curved banner at the top, with "SCHNEIDEMÜHL" in a scroll at the foot and the restrictive legend "NUR GEFANGENENGELD" below. |

| Reverse description | The reverse reproduces the same green typographic design as the obverse, with an identical central oval cartouche inscribed "Zehn Mark" enclosed in guilloche banding, flanked by circular "10" medallions with beaded and radiating ornament. The inscriptions "GEFANGENENLAGER", "SCHNEIDEMÜHL", and "NUR GEFANGENENGELD" appear in the same positions as on the obverse, confirming a two-sided uniform printing with no distinguishing marks between faces. |
