The upper border carries the motto ES WACHSE DAS ERZ in a teal banner, flanked by two teal rectangular panels each bearing the denomination numeral 10 / PFENNIG. The centre field presents the issuer name Buderus-Haushalt-Wetzlar above a hand-stamped serial number and the large bold legend Zehn Pfennig!, with a faint circular underprint vignette of a portrait head visible behind the serial number stamp. The date Wetzlar 15.

| Anmerkungen |
Buderus Iron Works in Wetzlar issued emergency paper currency — Notgeld — in 1918 as the German Imperial government's wartime metal requisitions made coin production increasingly impractical and small change vanished from everyday commerce. Private firms, municipalities, and institutions across Germany filled the gap with their own scrip, redeemable locally and theoretically backed by the issuer's credit.
Buderus had been casting iron in the Lahn valley since 1731. That a foundry of that age was reduced to printing paper farthings in its final imperial year tells you something about 1918 Germany that no economic summary quite captures.
