| Obverse description | The octagonal zinc flan features a central numeral '10' in large raised figures occupying the inner field, enclosed within a continuous beaded inner border. The circular legend 'F.W.L. POETSCH G.M.B.H.' arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while 'HAMBURG' appears along the lower arc, both separated by five-pointed stars. The entire design is bordered by an outer ring of raised beading following the octagonal periphery, giving the token a utilitarian yet structured appearance typical of German Notgeld issues of the early 1920s. |

| Reverse description | The reverse of this octagonal zinc notgeld token displays the large numeral '10' at center, enclosed within a twisted rope or cable inner border. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' (meaning 'small change substitute token') runs around the upper and lateral periphery of the inner border. Three five-pointed stars punctuate the lower field and serve as separators within the legend. The outer rim is encircled by a raised beaded border following the octagonal form, consistent with the standardized production style of Hamburg private emergency coinage. |
