| Obverse description | The national coat of arms of Ecuador occupies the central field, depicting a condor with spread wings atop an oval shield containing Mount Chimborazo and a steamship on a river. The circular legend REPUBLICA DEL ECUADOR arcs along the upper periphery, while the year of issue 1976 appears in the lower exergual area flanked by small ornamental stops. The design is rendered in a bold relief characteristic of set coinage. |

| Reverse description | The bold numeral 10 dominates the central field, with the denomination legend CENTAVOS inscribed below in slightly smaller characters. A symmetrical laurel wreath frames the denomination on both sides, with the branches meeting at the base, giving the design a classic and balanced appearance typical of Latin American decimal coinage of the period. |

KM#Pn16 designates this as a pattern issue — a test striking produced for official evaluation rather than general release. Ecuador's 1976 coinage program involved transitional decisions about alloy composition as the country moved away from earlier silver-content fractions, and brass was among the candidate materials assessed during that period. Whether this specific striking advanced beyond internal review is not firmly documented in standard references.
