| Reverse description | The reverse presents the denomination numeral 10 in large, boldly raised characters occupying the central field, enclosed within a continuous inner pearl circle. A second pearl border runs along the outer rim, creating a double-beaded frame around the plain, unadorned field. The design is entirely devoid of additional inscription or ornamental device, reflecting the utilitarian character typical of privately issued German emergency currency of the early Weimar period. |

| Additional information |
Füssen's rope and cordage factory issued this zinc notgeld token during the material shortages that followed World War I, when the collapse of German small-change circulation forced hundreds of private firms to produce their own emergency currency. Factory-issued scrip of this type was redeemable only at the issuing company, functioning in practice as a wage token tightly bound to a single employer's store or canteen.
