| Reverse description | Octagonal zinc token with an outer pearl border following the coin's eight-sided contour. An inner twisted rope circle encloses the central field, within which the large numeral '10' is prominently struck as the denomination. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' arcs around the upper portion between the outer pearl rim and the inner rope circle, identifying this piece as a small-change substitute token. Three six-pointed stars are positioned in the lower field between the rope circle and the pearl border. |

| Additional information |
Canteen tokens issued by German field artillery regiments during the First World War filled a practical gap when small-denomination coinage disappeared from circulation after 1914 — hoarded by civilians and melted for war production alike. The 6th Field Artillery Regiment's canteen administration issued these zinc pieces for internal use, redeemable only within regimental facilities, which kept scrip from leaking into the broader economy.
Zinc was the material of necessity by this point, copper and nickel having been redirected to munitions.
