| Obverse description | Plain zinc field enclosed by a continuous beaded border running along the inner rim. The legend STADTGEMEINDE is arranged in a wide arc across the upper portion of the coin, with HAMMELBURG similarly curved along the lower portion, the two inscriptions separated on each side by a small six-pointed star. The date 1917 is prominently struck in large numerals at the centre of the field, conveying the purely typographic, utilitarian character typical of German World War I Notgeld coinage. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral 10, denoting the ten-Pfennig denomination, dominates the central field in bold, raised relief. Encircling the numeral along the inner beaded border is the legend GÜLTIG BIS 6 MONAT NACH FRIEDENSSCHLUSS, meaning 'valid until 6 months after the conclusion of peace', a standard redemption clause found on German wartime emergency coinage. A small five-pointed star appears at the base of the legend, serving as a dividing ornament. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with the Kriegsgeld issues produced by Bavarian municipalities during World War I. |
