| Obverse description | Left-facing bust of Queen Nefertiti rendered in high relief, wearing her distinctive flat-topped cylindrical crown decorated with horizontal banded registers and a diadem at the brow. The portrait faithfully evokes the ancient Egyptian artistic convention, depicting the queen in strict profile with a prominent neck and stylized facial features. The denomination numeral '10' and fineness mark '980' appear in the right field. The encircling Latin legend reads MATER OPERUM ATQUE ARTIFICIORUM AEGYPTUS, separated by a small symbol, with the date 1958 incorporated into the inscription. |

| Reverse description | Central design features a hexagonal cartouche inscribed X DUCAT at the center of an elaborate six-pointed or six-armed cross motif, with stylized lily or floral ornaments flourishing in each of the six angles between the arms. Each arm of the cross terminates in decorative foliate elements, and small bird or dove figures appear among the floral sprays, lending the composition a richly ornamental character. The fineness mark 980 appears at the lower center beneath the cross. The surrounding Latin legend AVORUM NON MORITURA VIRTUS is inscribed along the upper periphery, and AUREUS MAGNUS along the lower periphery, separated by decorative stops. |
