| Obverse description | This is a reverse trial piece struck on an irregular silver flan, exhibiting pronounced curvature and distortion consistent with an experimental striking. The central device depicts a francolin (a native Gambian bird) in profile facing left, rendered in fine relief with detailed feathering. To the left of the bird, Arabic script is arranged vertically in the field. The denomination numeral '10' appears at upper left and the legend 'UTS' at right, representing a truncated form of 'BUTUTS'. The piece shows significant planchet irregularity, confirming its status as a trial or experimental striking rather than a circulation issue. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a plain, unmarked silver surface exhibiting the natural curvature and distortion inherent to this irregular trial flan. The field is entirely unadorned, with no devices, legends, or inscriptions present, consistent with the nature of a reverse trial piece intended solely to test the obverse die impression. The surface displays characteristic toning and die-contact marks typical of experimental strikings. |
