| Obverse description | Bare left-facing bust of Charles X, King of France, rendered in high relief in the neoclassical style. The royal effigy is encircled by the legend CHARLES X ROI DE FRANCE disposed along the periphery. The engraver's signature N. Tiolier appears in small characters at the base of the truncation, attributing the design to Chief Engraver Nicolas-Pierre Tiolier. |

| Reverse description | The face value and mint designation are presented in three horizontal lines within the field, reading 10 CENTIMES, ESSAI, and the Paris mint mark A, all enclosed within a wreath composed of two symmetrical olive branches tied at the base with a rose. The word ESSAI identifies the piece as an official trial strike. The design is spare and typographically formal, consistent with early Restoration-period essai coinage. |
