| Obverse description | Multicolour Notgeld note with a green ground printed by lithography. The central vignette presents a silhouette portrait of Goethe set within a laurel wreath medallion, against a panoramic Harz mountain landscape rendered in blue, grey, and green tones; to the right, two silhouetted figures — one in red costume evoking Mephistopheles — stand in the foreground. A banner scroll at top bears the heading 'Goethe's Faust, I. Teil' flanked by quotations in Fraktur script, while the denomination 'Zehn Pfg.' is inscribed in bold red Gothic lettering below the central vignette. The lower panel carries the serial number at left, the issuing authority and date at centre, and a validity clause at right, with the printer's imprint 'Louis Koch · Halberst.dt.' at the bottom left margin. |

| Reverse description | Multicolour lithographic reverse on a green ground, dominated by a large central vignette of the Feuersteinklippen rock formation — a massive sandstone outcrop — rising above a dense Harz forest of conifers rendered in deep greens and blacks. The denomination numerals '10' appear in bold red at the upper left and upper right corners outside the arched inner border. A rectangular scroll banner at the base of the vignette bears the place name 'Schierke i. Harz' in Gothic script, with the caption 'Feuersteinklippen' inscribed in smaller lettering immediately below. |
