| Obverse lettering | REPUBLIQUE FRANCAISE |
| Reverse description | Allegorical seated figure of the Republic, helmeted and draped, occupying the right portion of the field, holding a laurel branch and accompanied by two smaller figures symbolic of Liberty and Fraternity. The denomination 10 C appears in large numerals to the lower right. The legend LIBERTE EGALITE FRATERNITE arcs around the upper rim, and the word ESSAI is incused in the lower exergue, confirming the trial strike status. The composition reflects Dupuis's characteristic academic allegorical style. |
