Left-facing effigy of Marianne, the female personification of the French Republic, wearing a winged Phrygian cap rendered with the French tricolor. The legend REPUBLIQUE FRANÇAISE arcs along the upper rim, with the engraver's signature L. BAZOR and the date 1953 positioned below the bust. Cargo ships appear in the background field behind the figure, evoking maritime and colonial trade. The mintmaster's privy mark accompanies the date in the lower exergual area. On certain Essai pieces, the word ESSAI appears vertically in the field, both behind the head and before the word FRANÇAISE. |

| Descripción del reverso |
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. |
