| Obverse description | Plain octagonal zinc flan with a beaded inner border following the octagonal periphery. Three lines of raised Latin lettering fill the central field: 'KÖNIGL.BAD' in the upper portion, 'BERTRICH' in the centre, and the date '1917' in the lower portion. The design is purely typographic with no pictorial device, rendered in a bold serif typeface characteristic of German notgeld issues of the First World War period. |

| Reverse description | Plain octagonal zinc flan with a beaded inner border following the octagonal periphery. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' runs along the inner border from lower left to lower right, framed by a twisted rope circle enclosing the large numeral '10' in the centre field. Three five-pointed stars are evenly spaced along the lower portion of the field below the rope circle, serving as decorative stops. The overall design is typical of municipal German notgeld emergency coinage issued during the wartime small-change shortage of 1917. |
