| Obverse description | A left-facing horse head in profile occupies the central field, rendered in relief with bold, simplified lines characteristic of wartime emergency coinage. The circular legend RAPP-MOTORENWERKE arcs across the upper periphery, while MÜNCHEN curves along the lower margin, the two separated by six-pointed star ornaments at either side. The design reflects the corporate identity of the Munich-based aero-engine manufacturer, the horse being a direct reference to the firm's name (Rapp meaning horse in Bavarian dialect). The flat, unadorned field and the octagonal flan are typical of Kleingeldersatzmarken (small-change substitute tokens) produced during the First World War period. |

| Reverse description | The large numeral 10, denoting the denomination of ten Pfennig, is prominently displayed in the central field within a decorative beaded inner circle composed of alternating large and small pellets. The circular legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE (small-change substitute token) runs around the upper and lateral periphery, flanked at the lower sides by six-pointed star ornaments and a small circular pellet device at the base. The overall design is functional and austere, consistent with emergency notgeld coinage of the 1914–1924 period. The flat relief and plain edge are characteristic of zinc substitute tokens struck for industrial enterprises during the coin shortage of the First World War era. |
