| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse displays the large numeral 10 in bold raised relief, centrally positioned within the plain field, denoting the denomination of ten Pfennig. The figure occupies most of the available field and is executed in a simple serif-free style consistent with emergency coinage of the period. A continuous beaded border encircles the field, forming a neat inner boundary just within the raised outer rim. No additional legends, devices, or ornamental elements are present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
OLBA — the Oberlausitzer Braunkohlenwerk — operated lignite mines in the Lusatia region of Saxony, and like hundreds of German industrial operations during the First World War, it issued its own emergency coinage when imperial zinc and iron coins vanished from circulation into hoarding and metal drives. This Kleinsaubernitz piece was redeemable only within the company's own economy: the mine, its housing blocks, and its company store.
Zinc was the wartime compromise metal — the same material the Reich itself reluctantly adopted for Reichspost issues after copper and nickel were redirected to munitions.
