| Obverse description | Within a continuous pearl border, the large numeral '10' occupies the central field, flanked on the left and right by the circular legend reading 'NEUHAUS a. Rennweg' above and the date '1918' below, each separated by raised pellet stops. The design is characteristically spare, consistent with wartime Notgeld issue, with no additional ornamental devices in the field. |

| Additional information |
Neuhaus am Rennweg is a small Thuringian town in the Rennsteig highlands, and this 1918 zinc piece is a product of the acute small-change famine that gripped Germany as the war consumed copper and nickel. Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt, one of the minor Thuringian principalities, ceased to exist as a sovereign state just weeks after coins like this entered circulation — Prince Günther Viktor abdicated in November 1918 along with virtually every other German ruling house.
The Funck 364.2 designation distinguishes this from at least one variant in the series.
