| Obverse description | The obverse is divided into two vertical panels. The left panel, printed in blue, carries the municipal coat of arms of Pößneck — a heraldic lion flanked by laurel branches, surmounted by a mural crown — with the printer imprint 'Kuhlborn Pößneck' at the base. The right panel, on an olive-green guilloche underprint, bears a large central vignette of a diamond-shaped ornamental cartouche enclosing the denomination '10 PF' over a starburst motif in orange and brown tones, with the numeral '10' repeated in each corner. An italic text line reads 'Dieser Gutschein verliert seine Gültigkeit einen Monat nach Bekanntmachung,' with the authority inscription 'Magistrat und Gemeinderat:' followed by two manuscript facsimile signatures. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is similarly divided into two vertical panels with a decorative dashed border. The left panel, on a blue ground, bears a denomination cartouche reading 'Pf 10 Pf' in ornamental type above a scroll ribbon inscribed 'Jeder kennt das Pößnecker Leder,' with a vignette of a raw animal hide below. The right panel presents a colour lithographic industrial scene of a tannery yard: a worker tends large wooden barrels or rollers outside a workshop, evoking Pößneck's celebrated leather industry, with the word 'Walzfüller' inscribed at the top and the numeral '10' at each corner. |
