| Obverse description | Printed in black on an amber-yellow ground, the obverse carries a bold Expressionist-style vignette of the Darmstadt industrial skyline with factory chimneys, domes, and towers rising against radiating sunburst lines. Superimposed across the centre of the skyline is a large numeral '10' within an oval cartouche, flanked on a horizontal banner by the issuer name 'E. Merck' to the left and 'Darmstadt' to the right in Gothic blackletter. The denomination 'Pfennig' appears on a lower ribbon scroll, while the word 'Notgeld' in ornate Gothic script arches across the top of the note within a denticulated rectangular border; a faint cursive script underprint covers the background. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is printed in black on a plain buff-tan paper ground and presents the corporate seal of E. Merck Darmstadt at centre: a mortar and pestle vignette enclosed within a circular legend, all contained within a simple denticulated rectangular border. The design is uncluttered, relying solely on the trademarked pharmaceutical emblem to identify the issuing firm. |
