| Obverse description | Within a beaded border running along the octagonal periphery, a crowned and robed medieval figure — likely a king or bishop — stands facing forward beneath an ornate Gothic architectural canopy, flanked on either side by heraldic shields and decorative scrollwork. The figure holds a sceptre or staff in one hand, rendered in low relief with fine detail characteristic of Notgeld die work. The circular legend reads VORSCHUSS-VEREIN ZU SOLDAU E.G.M.U.H. around the upper and lateral margins, with the date 1917 flanked by two six-pointed stars positioned at the lower portion of the coin. The entire central design is enclosed within a recessed circular field, with the beaded outer border serving as the primary decorative frame of the octagonal flan. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a bold, large numeral 10 occupying the central field, indicating the denomination of ten Pfennig. The numeral is enclosed within a rope or twisted-cord inner border, creating a distinct inner circle. The circular legend KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE — meaning 'small change substitute token' — runs along the upper portion of the beaded outer border, identifying this piece as an emergency subsidiary coinage. Three six-pointed stars are evenly spaced at the lower margin of the inner border, adding decorative punctuation. The octagonal flan is bounded by the same continuous beaded border as the obverse, maintaining a consistent design vocabulary across both faces. |
