| Obverse description | Within a half-pearled border, the circular legend STADTGEMEINDE CALW surrounds a central depiction of the Nikolaus Chapel (Nikolauskapelle), rendered in a schematic architectural view. The municipal coat of arms of Calw appears in the lower portion of the field, below the chapel vignette. The overall design is characteristic of German WWI-era Notgeld, combining civic imagery with local heraldry. |

| Reverse description | A continuous pearl rim frames the reverse, with the circular legend KRIEG UND NOT UNS DIES GEBOT — meaning 'War and misery inflicted this upon us' — encircling an inner pearl border. At the centre, the denomination numeral 10 is displayed within a hexagonal cartouche, with the date 1918 positioned below. The spare, geometric composition is typical of wartime German emergency coinage (Kriegsnotgeld), conveying both the necessity and civic identity of the issue. |
