| Obverse description | Central field features a schematic depiction of a sailing vessel moored at a quayside, rendered in a simplified, sketch-like style characteristic of wartime emergency coinage. The rigging and hull of the ship are visible in low relief against a plain field. The circular legend CHAMBRE DE COMMERCE arcs across the upper portion of the coin, while BAYONNE appears in the lower field below the ship, with the date 1917 inscribed beneath it. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 10c is prominently displayed in large numerals at the centre of the field, executed in intaglio engraving. The circular legend REMBOURSABLE arcs across the upper portion, while AVANT 1922 appears along the lower arc, indicating the redemption deadline for this emergency issue. The design is plain and functional, consistent with the utilitarian character of First World War French chamber of commerce token coinage. |
