| Obverse description | At centre, a stylised traditional West African mask — a elongated vertical figure with outstretched arms and decorative headdress — serves as the emblem of the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest, flanked by the large numeral denomination '10'. The legend 'BANQUE CENTRALE' arcs along the upper periphery, while 'ÉTATS DE L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST' curves along the lower periphery. The word 'FRANCS' appears in the lower field beneath the denomination. Small decorative elements punctuate the left and right fields. |

| Reverse description | A detailed FAO-themed scene depicts two women and a child operating a hand-pump water well, rendered in high relief against a lightly detailed rural background. The woman to the left operates the pump handle while a child assists at centre, and a second woman stands to the right holding a vessel. Various domestic water containers are depicted at the base of the pump. The date appears in the exergue at the bottom of the coin. |
