Obverse description The stylized German Federal Eagle (Bundesadler) is depicted at center, displayed with wings spread and head turned to the right, rendered in a bold, modernist heraldic style. The denomination '10' appears in large numerals below the eagle, with 'DEUTSCHE MARK' inscribed along the lower periphery. The circular legend 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' runs along the upper rim, and the date '1991' is positioned at the right side of the field. The mint mark 'A' (Berlin Mint) appears to the right of the eagle's talons.

Reverse description A detailed frontal view of the Brandenburg Gate (Brandenburger Tor) in Berlin occupies the central field, rendered with architectural precision showing its twelve Doric columns and the crowning Quadriga sculpture — a chariot drawn by four horses bearing the Goddess of Victory — atop the attic. The dates '1791' and '1991' appear in two lines below the gate, commemorating the bicentennial of its completion. The circumscription 'SYMBOL DER DEUTSCHEN EINHEIT' arcs along the upper rim, while 'DAS BRANDENBURGER TOR' curves along the lower rim, together translating as 'Symbol of German Unity — The Brandenburg Gate'.
