Reverse description The large numeral '10' occupies the central field, denoting the denomination in Pfennig. The numeral is framed by an open wreath composed of oak branches tied with a ribbon bow at the base, with leafy sprigs at the upper terminals of each branch. The design is simple and bold, consistent with the utilitarian character of wartime Notgeld emergency coinage. A beaded border encircles the entire reverse.
