Obverse description Green and black Notgeld note with a wave-pattern guilloche underprint forming the background field. At centre, the municipal arms of Münchenbernsdorf — a robed monk figure on a plain shield set within an ornate foliate cartouche — flanked on either side by the large numeral '10' above the denomination 'Pfennig' in Gothic script. The town name 'Münchenbernsdorf' and voucher legend 'Gutschein über' appear across the top in bold Fraktur lettering; at lower left the anti-counterfeiting warning 'Nachahmung strafbar' is printed, while at lower right a manuscript signature appears above the title 'Bürgermeister'. A validity notice in italic script runs along the lower margin, and the printer's imprint 'H. Matthes, Münchenbernsdorf' is typeset beneath the green border.

Reverse description The reverse is printed in green and black on a dark ground. A large vignette occupies the full inner field, rendered in a bold woodcut style, showing an arrangement of rolled carpets, folded blankets, and runners of various patterns displayed in a still-life composition. Above the vignette, a three-line inscription in white Gothic script on the dark background proclaims the town's textile trade renown. A bright green ruled border frames the entire reverse.
