| Obverse description | Laureate head of Marianne, personification of the French Republic, facing left, her flowing hair rendered in high relief with fine classical detail. At the truncation, a fasces with an axe and bound rods is visible, symbolizing republican authority. The engraver's signature DANTZELL F. appears in the lower exergue. The legend REPUBLIQUE flanks the left field and FRANCAISE the right, both reading upward along the inner border. A toothed border frames the entire design. |

| Reverse description | The denomination 10 CENTIMES and date 1848 are displayed in three bold horizontal lines at the centre of the field, separated by a horizontal rule. Above, a decorative trophy composed of crossed olive and oak branches, tied with a ribbon and surmounted by a Phrygian cap, fills the upper portion of the design. The republican motto LIBERTÉ ÉGALITÉ FRATERNITÉ runs along the lower periphery between two beaded borders, with the legend disposed to read around the circumference. |
