| Obverse description | Central field features the municipal coat of arms of Bamberg, depicting an armoured knight standing upright within a heraldic shield, holding a lance with a streaming banner at upper right. The shield design is rendered in low relief with fine detail on the knight's armour and accoutrements. The date 1917 is split across the lower field, with '19' to the left and '17' to the right of the shield. The circular legend 'BAMBERG' arcs across the upper periphery and 'BAYERN' along the lower periphery, all within a beaded border following the octagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral '10' dominates the central field in bold relief, denoting the denomination in Pfennig. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' (small change substitute token) runs around the upper and lower periphery within a beaded inner border. A small six-pointed star device appears below the numeral at the base of the field. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime notgeld emergency coinage practice. |
