| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the city name legend 'STADT- COBLENZ' flanks a centrally placed depiction of the famous Koblenz Augenroller, a celebrated mechanical public clockwork figure mounted on the old city hall, traditionally known for rolling its eyes and protruding its tongue at regular intervals. The automaton figure is shown frontally with shoulders and upper arms visible, rendered in low relief against a flat field. The overall composition is bold and emblematic, characteristic of German Notgeld coinage of the early Weimar period. |

| Reverse description | Within a beaded border, the large numeral '10' dominates the central field, flanked above by the legend 'NOTGELD' and below by the denomination 'PFENNIG', with the date '1920' inscribed in the lower portion of the field. All lettering is in plain serif capitals, boldly struck in high relief against a flat, unadorned ground. The layout is strictly typographic, without any additional ornamental elements, reflecting the utilitarian character of wartime and post-war German emergency coinage. |
