| Obverse description | The octagonal field features the large numeral '10' prominently centered within a raised pearl circle, occupying the majority of the central field. A circular legend reading 'DEUTSCHE KUNSTLEDER AKTIENGES.' arcs around the upper portion of the coin, with '★ KÖTITZ ★' appearing at the base, all separated from the central pearl border by a flat annular zone. The overall design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with German notgeld emergency coinage of the early 1920s. |

| Additional information |
Deutsche Kunstleder AG was a synthetic leather manufacturer operating in Kötitz, Saxony — one of dozens of German industrial firms that issued privately minted token coinage during the notgeld period, primarily to manage small-denomination wages and canteen purchases on-site. These factory tokens circulated exclusively within the issuing works and were redeemable only through company channels, a practice that effectively tied workers' spending to employer-controlled outlets.
The nickel-plated zinc composition reflects wartime and postwar material constraints that pushed private issuers away from copper and brass.
