| Obverse description | The octagonal flan features a peripheral pearl border following the eight-sided contour of the token. Within this outer border, a circular beaded ring encloses the central field, in which the large numeral '10' appears prominently in raised relief. The circular legend between the pearl border and the beaded ring reads 'SCHLOSSAPOTHEKE' above and 'WÖRTH A/D' below, separated by two five-pointed stars at the lower sides. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Schlossapotheke — the castle pharmacy — in Wörth an der Donau, this is a privately issued notgeld token from the early 1920s, when the collapse of the German mark forced businesses, municipalities, and institutions at every level to produce their own emergency small change. Pharmacies were among the less common private issuers; most notgeld came from municipalities or regional chambers of commerce. Iron composition places this firmly in the inflationary period rather than the earlier wartime zinc and iron municipal issues.
