| Reverse description | The reverse displays a large, bold numeral '10' occupying the majority of the central field, rendered in plain raised figures denoting the token's face value of ten Pfennig. The field is otherwise plain and unadorned. A continuous beaded border runs along the inner rim, providing a simple decorative frame consistent with the utilitarian character of this First World War emergency coinage. |

| Additional information |
Tegernsee-Rottach issued this zinc notgeld piece in 1917 as the German war economy stripped copper and nickel from circulation for munitions production. Bavarian resort municipalities like this one were left to organize their own small-change substitutes, with zinc being the pragmatic fallback once more desirable metals had been requisitioned. The Funck catalogue distinguishes at least two varieties for this type — the .2 suffix indicating a specific die or edge distinction from its sibling issue.
