| Obverse description | Octagonal zinc field bearing a left-facing bust of a soldier wearing a distinctive Stahlhelm (steel helmet), rendered in low relief in a bold, stylized manner characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage. The figure occupies the central field, with the Fraktur blackletter legend 'Weilburg a/L' arcing along the left periphery and the date '1917' disposed vertically along the right side, separated from the legend by a small cross ornament. The lower portion of the legend includes the maker's mark 'w.o.prack'. The plain octagonal border frames the design without an inner circle, lending the piece a stark, utilitarian wartime aesthetic. |

| Reverse description | The octagonal reverse features the large denomination numeral '10' prominently displayed to the left of center in bold relief, alongside the Fraktur inscription 'Pf.' completing the denomination. A heraldic shield occupying the central field bears the municipal arms of Weilburg. The legend 'Kleingeld Ersatzmarke' (small change substitute token) is inscribed in Fraktur script along the lower and right periphery, identifying the piece as an officially sanctioned local emergency token. The overall design is utilitarian and unadorned, consistent with the wartime Notgeld series issued by German municipalities during World War I. |
