Obverse description The municipal arms of Ettenheim occupy the central field, depicting a crenellated gateway surmounted by three towers, the central tower bearing a crown, all rendered in low relief above a divided heraldic shield. The armorial device is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by an outer beaded border that frames the entire design. The circular legend reads STADTGEMEINDE around the upper arc, separated by floral ornaments, with ETTENHEIM continuing along the lower arc, in raised Latin capitals. The overall design is characteristic of German notgeld municipal issues of the early Weimar period, utilitarian in execution but faithful to the town's heraldic tradition.

Reverse description The large numeral 10 dominates the central field within a beaded inner circle, denoting the face value of ten Pfennig. The circular legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE (small change substitute token) runs around the upper portion of the coin between the beaded inner border and an outer beaded rim. Below the central numeral, flanked by two six-pointed stars, the date 1921 is inscribed in the lower field. The design is plain and functional, consistent with the austere wartime and post-war notgeld coinage produced by German municipalities during the period of acute small-change shortages.
