| Obverse description | Central device comprises the elaborately quartered royal arms of Westphalia, displayed within an ornate cartouche surmounted by a large royal crown. The shield quarters incorporate heraldic charges including a rampant horse, lions, and other armorial devices drawn from the constituent territories of the kingdom. The escutcheon is flanked on either side by decorative military trophies serving as supporters, while an order badge and cross are positioned at the base of the composition. The surrounding legend HIERONYMUS NAPOLEON runs along the inner border in raised Latin capitals, separated at intervals by decorative stops. The entire design is contained within a beaded inner border, with fine milled denticles visible at the rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold and simply composed design centered on a large Roman numeral X above the three-line inscription EINE FEINE MARK, denoting the fineness and weight standard of ten coins to the fine mark. The date 1810 appears below, flanked by decorative six-pointed rosette stops, with the Kassel mint letter C positioned beneath a short horizontal rule at the bottom of the field. The circular legend KOENIG VON WESTPHALEN FR. PR. runs along the periphery in raised Latin capitals, separated by ornamental stops. The entire reverse legend and central text are executed in a clean, Neo-Classical engraving style consistent with the Napoleonic period. A beaded inner border frames the design, with reeded denticles at the outer rim. |
