| Obverse description | The obverse features a stylized composition of endemic Malagasy flora and fauna, rendered in low relief against a flat field. A prominent floral or botanical motif, likely referencing native vegetation, occupies the central area of the design. The circular legend reads 'FAMOAHAMBOLAN' NY REPOBLIKA MALAGASY' distributed along the upper periphery, with the date '1970' positioned centrally below the design. The inscription is set in Latin characters, and the overall artistic treatment reflects the engraving style of B. Ramjato. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold, centrally positioned head of a zebu bull in high relief, facing the viewer, with pronounced horns and naturalistic detailing characteristic of Raymond Joly's engraving style. Flanking the central motif are stylized decorative branches or foliage elements extending along both sides of the field. The denomination '10 FRANCS' is inscribed prominently above the zebu's head, with 'ESSAI' appearing immediately below, denoting the pattern or trial status of the piece. The Malagasy equivalent value 'ARIARY ROA' is inscribed along the lower periphery in Latin script. |
