| Obverse description | Central field depicts a view of the old port of La Rochelle, featuring a sailing vessel moored in the foreground with the iconic medieval Tour de la Chaîne and Tour Saint-Nicolas visible in the background. The scene is rendered in moderate relief with fine architectural and nautical detail. The circular legend reads SOCIÉTÉ DU COMMERCE at the top and LA ROCHELLE at the bottom, each separated by raised dots. The date 1922 appears in the lower field beneath the harbour scene. |

| Reverse description | The large denomination numeral 10 dominates the central field, rendered with horizontal line engraving to create a ribbed texture within the digits. A finely detailed sea-serpent or dragon-like creature curves around the right and lower portion of the numeral, its scaled body, feathered crest, and flowing tail executed with considerable decorative artistry characteristic of Thévenon's token designs. The denomination suffix c appears to the upper right of the numeral. The maker's name THEVENON and place of manufacture PARIS are inscribed in small letters along the lower left and lower right of the field respectively. |
