The Imperial German eagle coat of arms appears to the left, flanked by the denomination '10 Mark' and the full title of the issuing authority rendered in German blackletter script. The layout is austere and functional, characteristic of wartime provisional currency. |

Deutsch-Südwestafrika (modern Namibia) was cut off from German banking infrastructure almost immediately after war broke out in August 1914. The British naval blockade made resupply of printed currency from Europe impossible, forcing the colonial administration to issue emergency notes locally. This 10 Mark note, signed by Governor Theodor Seitz, was among the instruments improvised to keep the colonial economy functioning as South African Union forces invaded from the south.
The territory surrendered in July 1915. Notes of this series had a circulation window of less than a year.
