| Obverse description | Plain zinc field at centre bearing the large raised numeral '10' in bold relief, denoting the denomination. The numeral is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by a circular legend reading 'FONTAINE & Co. G.M.B.H. FRANKFURT A/M.-WEST' in raised Latin capitals along the periphery. A small five-pointed star serves as a separator in the lower portion of the legend. The rim is defined by a further outer beaded border, typical of the utilitarian Notgeld token style of the First World War period. |

| Reverse description | Plain, unadorned zinc field bearing the large raised numeral '10' in bold relief at centre, with minimal artistic embellishment, consistent with the emergency coinage (Notgeld) production standards of 1917. A faint beaded border is visible along the rim. The reverse design is deliberately simple, reflecting the exigencies of wartime token manufacture. |
