| Obverse description | Plain zinc field bearing the large numeral '10' at center, serving as the denomination indicator. A circular legend reads 'DRAHTWERKE GLEIWITZ' around the upper periphery and 'WERTMARKE' along the lower arc, all in raised Latin lettering. The legend is separated from the central field by an inner ring of raised beads, with a secondary beaded border running along the outermost rim. A further decorative ring of radiating elements appears between the two beaded borders on the right side. The overall design is utilitarian in character, consistent with German industrial notgeld token production of the early 1920s. |

| Reverse description | Plain zinc field displaying the large numeral '10' prominently at center. The circular legend 'DRAHTWERKE GLEIWITZ' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, while 'WERTMARKE' appears along the lower arc, flanked by star or dot stops. The inscription is set within an inner beaded border, with a similarly beaded outer rim encircling the entire design. The flat, unadorned field and simple typographic layout reflect the functional, emergency-issue nature of this industrial token. Surface shows characteristic oxidation and wear consistent with zinc notgeld coinage of the Weimar-era inflation period. |
