| Beschrijving voorzijde | A continuous pearl border frames the entire obverse field. The issuer's name is presented as a circular legend reading MASCHINENBAU-A.-G. around the upper periphery, with HOFFMANN along the lower periphery, while the central field carries a two-line inscription reading vorm. / STARKE / & in incuse raised lettering. The overall design is purely typographic, with no pictorial elements, characteristic of German Notgeld industrial tokens of the early 1920s. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A continuous pearl border runs inside the coin's rim, mirroring the obverse. The central field displays the large numeral 10 in bold raised figures, denoting the denomination of ten Pfennig, centered within the otherwise plain field. No additional legend, unit inscription, or decorative element accompanies the numeral, reflecting the utilitarian simplicity typical of privately issued German emergency coinage of the Weimar inflation era. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Starke & Hoffmann was a Silesian machinery manufacturer operating out of Hirschberg (now Jelenia Góra, Poland), and like hundreds of German industrial firms during the acute small-change shortage of World War I, it issued zinc notgeld to pay workers when Reichsbank coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. The practice was technically illegal but universally tolerated — the imperial government had neither the metal nor the administrative capacity to suppress it.
The Men18 reference places this within Menzel's catalog of industrial emergency coinage, a category distinct from the municipal notgeld issues that dominate most collections.
