Obverse description Central field bears four large Chinese ideograms arranged to be read top to bottom and right to left, with a floral ornament at the centre. A surrounding peripheral legend in Chinese characters reads clockwise, conveying the inscription denoting manufacture at Kashgar, Sinkiang, denomination of ten cash, and copper coinage of the Republic. The overall design is characteristic of the provincial copper cash issues of the Chinese Republican era.

Reverse description Two rectangular flags with striped fields cross diagonally at the centre of the coin, forming an X-pattern. An Arabic legend curves above the crossed flags and a second Arabic legend appears below, together identifying the Kashgar Mint, the Hijri date 1340, and the denomination of ten cash. The bold, slightly crude engraving style is typical of Sinkiang provincial issues struck at the Kashgar Mint during the early Republican period.
