Reverse description	Central design features the numeral value 10 FRANCS set within the curving horns of a Zebu bull's head, a symbol emblematic of Madagascar. Flanking the central motif are symmetrical clusters of stylized sprigs or plant branches. An outline map of Madagascar is positioned above the denomination, grounding the design in clear geographic identity. The legend MADAGASCAR appears along the lower rim in clean, upright Latin lettering. The overall composition is balanced and heraldic in character, consistent with French colonial coinage style of the mid-twentieth century.
