| Obverse description | A central cartouche carries the issuer name CASA DA MOEDA and the denomination DEZ CENTAVOS flanked by the word BRONZE on either side, all set against an elaborate allegorical vignette with a seated male figure resting against an anvil at left and a standing winged figure at right, framed by classical architectural pilasters. The Portuguese royal coat of arms appears at the top center above the cartouche, with the numeral 10 in each lower corner. The decree date DECRETO DE 15 DE AGOSTO DE 1917 is printed below the denomination, followed by a manuscript signature and the serial number. |

| Reverse description | The reverse is covered by a dense, symmetrical guilloche pattern centered on a large maltese-cross motif, within which the Portuguese coat of arms appears in a circular medallion surrounded by the legend CASA DA MOEDA. Four smaller circular coin-like medallions bearing the numeral 10 are arranged at the cardinal points of the cross, while elaborate acanthus scroll ornaments fill the corners. The denomination DEZ CENTAVOS appears at the top and the word BRONZE at the bottom, with the numeral 10 repeated vertically along each side margin. |
