| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bears the heraldic coat of arms of Gruschwitz Textilwerke, depicted as a shield with decorative baroque cartouche and elaborate foliate mantling, surmounted by a crested helm with ornamental plumes. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner border. A circular legend in Latin script reads 'GRUSCHWITZ TEXTILWERKE AKT. GES.' in the upper arc and 'NEUSALZ A. ODER' in the lower arc, separated by small floral ornaments, with a further outer ring of evenly spaced raised pellets following the octagonal periphery. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse field is dominated by the large, bold numeral '10' centrally positioned and occupying the majority of the flat field, denoting the face value of ten Pfennig. The numeral is rendered in plain raised relief with no additional legend or denomination inscription. The design is framed by a continuous beaded border closely following the octagonal shape of the flan, with the plain flat field otherwise devoid of further ornament. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued in 1917 by the Gruschwitz textile works in Neusalz an der Oder — a Silesian mill town that would become Nowa Sól, Poland, after 1945 — this zinc notgeld token emerged from the acute small-change shortage that gripped Germany as the war economy drained copper and nickel from civilian circulation. Private firms, municipalities, and transit companies were effectively deputized by necessity to mint their own fractional currency, and factory-issued pieces like this one served a dual function: they kept wages payable in small denominations and, by design, could only be spent within the company's own controlled retail ecosystem.
