| Obverse description | Plain field bearing the large numeral '10' at center, enclosed by a circular legend reading 'VER. FRÄNK. SCHUHFABR.' above and '· NÜRNBERG ·' below, all contained within a beaded border running along the rim. The inscription identifies the issuing association, the Vereinigte Fränkische Schuhfabriken of Nuremberg. The overall design is typographically austere, consistent with utilitarian notgeld token production of the Weimar-era inflationary period. |

| Additional information |
Vereinigte Fränkische Schuhfabriken was one of several Bavarian shoe manufacturers that issued zinc factory tokens during the early Weimar period, when small-denomination coinage had effectively vanished from circulation. These pieces functioned as internal currency — redeemable at company stores or canteens — giving employers considerable control over how wages were spent. The Nuremberg shoe industry was heavily unionized by this point, and labor disputes over exactly such token-wage practices were a recurring flashpoint through the early 1920s.
