| Reverse description | Outer pearl border follows the octagonal flan, enclosing a circular legend reading 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' around the upper arc. A rope circle frames the central field, within which the large numeral '10' is prominently struck. Three five-pointed stars are arranged at the lower portion of the field, below the rope circle, serving as decorative separators. The design is plain and functional, consistent with privately issued German small-change substitutes of the wartime and post-war period. |

| Additional information |
Th. Bauch Nachf. was a successor firm — the "Nachf." (Nachfolger) designation indicating the business had changed hands while retaining the original trading name, a common German commercial practice. This token belongs to the Kriegsgeld and Notgeld wave that flooded Saxony after the imperial government requisitioned copper and nickel coinage for war materiel beginning in 1916, leaving municipalities and private businesses to fill the vacuum with zinc and iron substitutes. Oschatz, a small market town in the Saxon lowlands, generated a modest number of such issues.
