| Obverse description | Central device depicting the Portuguese royal arms — a crowned shield bearing the quinas (five escutcheons) — surmounted by a royal crown. The shield is rendered in a simplified, cast style typical of colonial Portuguese Indian coinage. Flanking the shield on either side are the mint-mark letters G and A, denoting the Goa Mint, positioned in the left and right fields respectively. The overall design is plain and functional, consistent with the utilitarian character of bazaruco coinage struck for circulation in Portuguese India. |

| Reverse description | Central field bearing the denomination numeral '10' above the date, both enclosed within a circular wreath of laurel or olive branches tied at the base. The numerals and date are boldly cast in a plain, utilitarian style. The wreath surrounds the inscriptions symmetrically, forming the primary decorative element of this face. The overall composition is characteristic of the simple, cast bronze bazaruco coinage produced at the Goa Mint during the reign of José I. |
