| Reverse description | The bold numeral 10 dominates the upper portion of the reverse field, rendered in a large, simple sans-serif typeface. Directly below, the denomination FILLÉR is inscribed in large capital letters spanning the width of the design. The mint mark BP. appears in smaller lettering in the lower field, identifying the Budapest Mint. The reverse is unadorned save for these elements, reflecting the austere utilitarian design approach of early Hungarian People's Republic coinage. |

| Additional information |
Hungary's postwar coinage was entirely reorganized following the catastrophic hyperinflation of 1945–46 — the worst ever recorded, with the pengő ultimately replaced by the forint in August 1946 at a conversion rate of 400 octillion pengő to one forint. The 1950 aluminium issues came four years into the new monetary order, as the newly consolidated communist state was standardizing coinage through the Hungarian State rather than the National Bank.
Aluminium was chosen for small denominations partly due to postwar metal shortages and partly in alignment with Soviet-bloc manufacturing norms of the period. The Adamo F3 designation distinguishes this from the earlier iron-composition strikes of the same type.
