| Beschrijving voorzijde | Printed in amber-orange and black on plain paper, the obverse is dominated by a bold diamond-shaped central vignette carrying the text 'Kreis Schweinitz' in Gothic Fraktur script along its upper and lower edges, with the large numeral '10' and abbreviation 'Pfg' set within a white oval field framed by acanthus scroll ornaments. Two columns of text in the upper corners identify the issuing and redemption offices, while the place name 'Herzberg (Elster)' appears at lower left and a facsimile signature of Der Kreisausschuss is placed at lower right. The overall design is framed by a fine ruled border with corner ornaments. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse, printed in the same amber-orange and black color scheme, presents a central oval vignette enclosed within baroque acanthus scroll borders, containing a finely rendered image of a woman in traditional peasant dress seated at a spinning wheel. Diamond-shaped denomination panels bearing the numeral '10' flank the oval on each side, while vertical black bands along both lateral edges carry the inscriptions 'KREIS SCHWEINITZ' reading upward and downward respectively. A two-line folk proverb in Gothic script runs across the lower portion of the note beneath the vignette. |

Kreissparkasse Herzberg (Elster) was one of hundreds of German district savings banks that resorted to issuing small-denomination Notgeld in 1920 when the chronic shortage of low-value coinage — accelerated by wartime metal requisitioning and postwar hoarding — made commercial transactions at the retail level genuinely unworkable. The Kreis-level institutions had no formal currency-issuing authority, but municipal and district emergency money existed in a legal grey zone that the Reichsbank tacitly tolerated until centralized coinage supply normalized.
At this size, the notes were handled constantly and discarded once redeemed. Survivors in any condition are more the product of collector interception than organic preservation.
