Obverse description Plain light blue cardboard field bearing the issuer's name and denomination in printed Latin characters arranged in five lines. The legend VILLE DE BESSIÈRES appears at the top in bold uppercase letters, separated from the large numeral 10 by a decorative wavy rule. Below the numeral, the word Centimes appears followed by a stop, and the date — 1918 — is printed at the base flanked by dashes. The typeset design is entirely non-pictorial, relying solely on text and a simple ornamental divider.

Reverse description Plain light blue cardboard field bearing an applied wet ink administrative stamp from the town hall of Bessières, impressed in blue ink. The circular stamp legend MAIRIE DE BESSIERES is partially legible around the periphery, with the central design largely indistinct due to ink absorption into the cardboard substrate. The stamp serves as the official authentication mark validating the token for local circulation.
