Obverse description The obverse features the traditional Lower Saxon horse (Sachsenross) in left-facing profile, depicted in relief atop a ground line, rendered in a bold, simplified style characteristic of Notgeld coinage. The circular legend STAATSBANK BRAUNSCHWEIG runs along the upper periphery within a raised pearl border that encircles the entire design. The field is plain, with the heraldic horse occupying the central device. Multiple die varieties are recorded, differing in the position of the horse's mane and ear relative to the letters of the legend.

Reverse description The reverse bears the large bold denomination numeral 10 prominently centered in the field, flanked above by the two-word emergency currency inscription NOT - GELD divided across the upper left and right. The unit designation PFENNIG appears in a horizontal band below the numeral, with small decorative dots flanking the word. The date 1920 is inscribed at the bottom of the field. The entire design is enclosed within a raised pearl border consistent with the obverse, and the plain field gives the piece a stark, utilitarian character typical of German Notgeld issues of the inflationary period.
