| Reverse description | Octagonal reverse displaying a continuous pearl border along the eight-sided edge, with a beaded inner circle enclosing the central field. The large numeral '10' occupies the center of the inner circle in bold raised relief. The circular legend 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE' arcs across the upper portion of the annulus, indicating the token's function as a small-change substitute. Three five-pointed stars are evenly spaced along the lower portion of the outer field, one at the base and one on each side, providing decorative balance. |

| Additional information |
Wächtersbacher Steingutfabrik, a ceramics manufacturer in Schlierbach, issued zinc notgeld tokens during the early 1920s when Germany's small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation — hoarded, melted, or simply outpaced by inflation. Factory-issued pieces like this one served workers who needed change for canteen purchases or internal wage settlements, never intended to travel far beyond the plant gates.
