| Reverse description | The large numeral '10', denoting the denomination, is prominently displayed at the center of the coin within a beaded inner circle. The circular legend KLEINGELDERSATZ — meaning 'small change substitute' — runs along the upper periphery, while the date 1917 appears at the base below the beaded border. Ornamental stops punctuate the legend, and the overall design is plain and functional in keeping with the wartime emergency issue character of the piece. |

Tübingen issued this iron notgeld piece in 1917 as wartime metal requisitions had stripped municipal circulation of copper and nickel almost entirely. Iron was the Reich's compromise material — abundant, cheap, and deeply unpopular with the public for its tendency to rust in pocket wear. Funck 551.6 places this among a small cluster of Tübingen municipal issues from that year, the city having entered the notgeld system relatively late compared to larger Württemberg centers.
