She holds an olive branch in her left hand, raised before her. The circular legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE runs along the periphery, interrupted by the bust, with the engraver's signature P. TURIN incuse in the right field. The date 1945 appears in the exergue, separated from the field by a decorative rope border. |

| Reverse description | A centrally placed sheaf of rice stalks with heavily laden grain ears fans upward, bisecting the field and separating the denomination numeral 10 on the left from the abbreviation CENT. on the right, with the word ESSAI inscribed above CENT. in the right field. The circular legend INDOCHINE FRANÇAISE arcs along the upper periphery, with the whole design framed by a rope and wave decorative border. The composition is rendered in the restrained, geometric Art Deco style characteristic of Pierre Turin's work for French colonial coinage. |
