| Reverse description | Octagonal notgeld token featuring an outer pearl border following the eight-sided periphery. The legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE curves around the upper and lateral portions of the field, separated from the central denomination numeral 10 by an inner twisted rope circle. The large numeral 10 is boldly struck in the central field. Three five-pointed stars are evenly spaced at the base between the two ends of the legend, serving as separators. |

| 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.
