| Obverse description | Outer pearl border encircles the entire field, with the circular legend OBERB. LIEFERUNGSGEN. F.D. SCH. MÜNCHEN running between the outer pearl rim and an inner rope circle. A five-pointed star appears at the base of the legend. The numeral 10, denoting the denomination, is prominently centered within the rope circle in bold relief. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain field enclosed by a continuous outer pearl border, with the large numeral 10 boldly incused in the center, occupying the majority of the field. The design is deliberately simple and utilitarian, characteristic of German Notgeld emergency coinage of the early Weimar period. |

| Additional information |
Issued by the Upper Bavarian Supply Cooperative for the Shoemaker's Trade, this is notgeld in the strict functional sense — a private scrip token used internally among member craftsmen and their suppliers to settle accounts when Reichsmark coinage was either unavailable or hoarded during the severe shortages of the early 1920s. Trade cooperatives across Bavaria issued their own exchange media with enough regularity that Hasselmann's catalog dedicated substantial entries to the shoemaking guilds alone.
