| Obverse description | Octagonal notgeld token with an outer pearl border following the eight-sided periphery. The issuer's legend W. ANGERMANN NEUSTETTIN curves around the upper portion of the field, separated from the central denomination numeral 10 by an inner pearl circle. The large numeral 10 occupies the central field in bold raised relief. A five-pointed star appears at the base of the legend, between the two ends of the inscription, serving as a separator. |

| Additional information |
Neustettin — now Szczecinek in northwestern Poland — was a mid-sized Pomeranian town whose wartime economy, like hundreds of others across Germany, generated a flood of privately issued Kriegsgeld when nickel and copper disappeared into munitions production after 1914. W. Angermann was almost certainly a local merchant or tradesman issuing this token to make change, a practice the Reich tolerated but never formally sanctioned. The nickel-plated zinc construction is characteristic of the later wartime issues, when even the base metals used in early Notgeld were themselves becoming scarce.
