| Obverse description | Within a beaded border, the large numeral '10' occupies the upper central field, with the denomination 'PFENNIG' inscribed in bold capital letters beneath it. The circular legend 'STADTGEMEINDE' arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while 'PFORZHEIM' curves along the lower periphery, together identifying the issuing municipality. Four maltese cross ornaments serve as stops between the legend elements at the cardinal positions. The design is plain and utilitarian, consistent with wartime emergency coinage production. |

| Reverse description | The central device features the municipal coat of arms of Pforzheim, a quartered heraldic shield surmounted by a mural crown with three visible towers. The shield is flanked at the base by two small olive or laurel sprigs, lending a decorative heraldic character to the composition. The legend 'KRIEGSNOTGELD' (war emergency money) arcs across the upper field within the beaded border. The date '1917' is inscribed in the lower exergual area beneath the shield, between the flanking sprigs. The overall design is typical of German municipal Notgeld issues of the First World War period. |
