| Obverse description | Large numeral '10' dominates the central field, enclosed within a rope circle border. The circular legend surrounding the rope border reads 'NOTGELD D. STADT STAVENHAGEN' followed by a decorative bullet stop. The denomination numeral is boldly struck in high relief, presenting a plain, utilitarian design typical of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early 1920s. |

| Additional information |
Stavenhagen issued iron notgeld during the acute coin shortages of World War I, when the German imperial government progressively withdrew copper and nickel coinage from circulation for war material. Municipal iron pieces like this one filled the gap left by hoarded official currency, though their acceptance was strictly local and their legal status perpetually ambiguous. The city is best known as the birthplace of Fritz Reuter, the Low German dialect writer — a distinction that shaped the iconographic choices of several Stavenhagen notgeld issues.
