Printed in black on salmon-orange paper, the obverse is framed by an irregular, map-like decorative border with jagged edges suggesting the outlines of a region. The denomination numeral '10' appears twice in large bold Gothic characters at top and bottom, each flanked by circular rosette ornaments, with the legend 'PFENNIG' rendered in curved banderole style above and below. A central rectangular cartouche carries a Low German verse quotation in blackletter script, and validity and issuing authority texts are inscribed vertically in the left and right lateral panels respectively. |

Printed in black on salmon-orange paper, the reverse carries a detailed architectural vignette of the Doberaner Münster (Bad Doberan Minster), a Gothic brick church rendered in fine cross-hatched line engraving set amid surrounding trees. The denomination '10 PFENNIG 10' is inscribed in bold ornamental numerals across the arched top of the note, and the issuing designation 'REUTERGELD VON BAD DOBERAN' appears in decorative blackletter capitals along the lower margin, separated from the vignette by a row of small vertical rules. |

Bad Doberan's 1921 Notgeld issue belongs to the second wave of German municipal emergency money — the period when local authorities, having already printed functional small-change notes in 1917–1920, began commissioning more elaborate designs partly as collector bait. The so-called "Serienscheine" market was booming, and many town councils discovered they could generate net revenue simply by printing notes that would never return for redemption.
Doberan sits on the Mecklenburg coast near Heiligendamm, one of Germany's oldest seaside resorts, and the town carried considerable civic pride despite its modest size. Whether this 10 Pfennig piece was genuinely circulated or issued primarily for the collector trade is the real question — by mid-1921, that line had largely dissolved.
