| Obverse description | Grey-green notgeld note with a bold Gothic-script banner reading 'Frankensteiner Notgeld' across the top within a guilloche-bordered panel. The centre vignette shows the city coat of arms of Frankenstein — a crenellated gate tower with two turrets — flanked by the denomination 'Zehn Pfennig' in large decorative lettering to left and right, with the serial number printed in red at lower right and the series letter 'Lit. B' also in red at lower left. The date 'Frankenstein i. Schl., den 10. Dezember 1920' and four facsimile signatures under the legend 'Der Magistrat:' appear in the lower portion, with the validity clause 'Gültig bis 3 Monate nach Aufkündigung' along the bottom edge. |

| Reverse description | Grey-green reverse centred on a detailed vignette of a Gothic church with a tall spire, identifiable as the Marienkirche (Church of St. Mary) in Frankenstein, rendered in a fine line-engraving style against a lightly hatched sky. The denomination '10 Pfennig' appears in bold lettering within ornate shield-shaped cartouches set against guilloche underprint panels on both the left and right flanks. A text banner across the top reads 'In Zeiten der Not' and the bottom panel carries the phrase 'gibt sie Papier anstatt Brot'. |
