| Obverse description | Central field bears the crowned Portuguese royal shield (quinas), surmounted by a royal crown with rays, flanked on either side by the mintmaster's initials G and A in the field. The design is rendered in a simple, flat hammered style typical of colonial Portuguese Indian coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central field displays the numeral IO (representing 10, denoting the denomination of 10 Bazarucos) in large characters, surrounded by a border of beads or pellets encircling the entire reverse field. The reverse is plain and unadorned beyond this numeral and its dotted border, consistent with the utilitarian character of Portuguese Indian colonial coinage. |
