| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the large numeral '10' occupies the central field, rendered in bold relief. The issuer name 'Stadt Altenburg' arcs across the upper portion of the coin and the denomination 'Pfennig' curves along the lower portion, both inscriptions executed in Fraktur blackletter script. The overall design is simple and utilitarian, characteristic of German notgeld emergency coinage of the early Weimar period. |
