| Obverse description | The obverse is printed in deep red and grey-green on a light ground, with a bold gothic numeral '10a' in yellow-gold at the upper centre. The central vignette consists of a decorative cartouche enclosing a multi-line passage of Low German verse in ornate blackletter script, attributed to the regional dialect poet Fritz Reuter. At the lower portion of the cartouche, a vignette of a church steeple with surrounding trees is rendered in red letterpress. The validity inscription and two manuscript signatures of city officials appear across the upper margin above the cartouche. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in dark red, yellow-gold, and grey-green. The upper two-thirds carry a boldly drawn vignette of a straining ox harnessed to a plough, guided by a farmer leaning into the handles — a scene evoking the agrarian character of the Mecklenburg region and referencing the literary world of Fritz Reuter. The denomination '10' appears in large yellow numerals at the lower left, followed by the inscriptions 'PFENNIG', 'REUTERGELD', and 'GNOIEN' in bold yellow-gold lettering across the lower register. |
