| Reverse description | The octagonal flan displays a peripheral pearl border conforming to the eight-sided shape, within which a rope-twist circle encloses the central field bearing the large numeral '10' in raised relief. The circular legend between the pearl border and the rope circle reads 'KLEINGELDERSATZMARKE', with three five-pointed stars arranged at the base. The overall design is utilitarian in character, consistent with German Notgeld token production of the early 1920s. |

| 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.
