| Obverse description | An outer pearl border frames a circular legend reading KÖPPELSDORFER PORZELLANFABRIK separated by a floral rosette from ERNST HEUBACH, the text arranged around the full periphery of the coin. A secondary inner beaded ring encloses the large raised numeral '10' at center, which serves as the denomination indicator. The design is purely typographic, with no figurative imagery, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this industrial notgeld token. |

| Reverse description | An outer pearl border encircles the entire field, within which the legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE ('small change substitute token') runs along the upper periphery in raised Latin letters. An inner rope or twisted-cord circle defines a central zone containing the large numeral '10'. Three six-pointed stars are arranged at the lower portion of the field between the inner and outer borders, serving as decorative separators. The overall design is strictly typographic and functional, consistent with emergency coinage of the German inflation era. |

| Additional information |
Ernst Heubach's porcelain factory in Köppelsdorf issued iron notgeld during the acute small-change shortages that paralyzed German commerce in 1917–1921. The factory is far better known for its bisque doll heads — exported globally before the war — than for any role in emergency currency, which makes this piece an industrial curiosity rather than a numismatic footnote.
