| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse features the large numeral '10' prominently displayed in the central field, serving simultaneously as the denomination indicator on this side of the notgeld token. Surrounding the numeral, a circular legend reads 'OSKAR KIESEL & Cº' along the upper arc and 'MÜNCHEN' along the lower arc, identifying the issuing firm and its city of Munich. Two five-pointed stars flank the legend at the left and right, acting as decorative separators. The entire design is enclosed within a border of raised beads arranged in a continuous dotted ring around the periphery, characteristic of the utilitarian Kriegsgeld emergency coinage style of 1918. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 1918 by a Munich private firm, this is Kriegsgeld — emergency coinage produced when the German imperial government could no longer supply adequate small change as the war consumed metal reserves and disrupted centralized minting. Municipalities, transit authorities, and private businesses across Germany were authorized to fill the gap themselves. Oskar Kiesel & Co. was among hundreds of commercial issuers that stepped in, their tokens circulating locally as functional substitutes for state coinage in the final months before the armistice.
Nickel-plated zinc was the compromise material of the period — base enough to conserve strategic metals, substantial enough to pass at the counter.
