| Obverse description | Central design features the tower of the Danzig town hall rendered in fine relief, with the numeric denomination '10' positioned to the right within a beaded or linear border. The face value 'ZEHN GULDEN' appears below the central motif, and the date is inscribed to the right. The legend 'FREIE STADT DANZIG' arcs across the field in Fraktur blackletter script, identifying the issuing authority. The overall composition is formal and heraldic in character, consistent with early Weimar-era coin design conventions. |

| Reverse description | The arms of the Free City of Danzig occupy the centre of the field, displayed on an oval shield topped by a crown and charged with a double cross, the civic symbol of Danzig. Two rampant lions serve as supporters, one to each side of the shield, rendered with bold heraldic vigour on a stepped base. The Latin motto 'NEC TEMERE NEC TIMIDE' is inscribed in three lines across the upper field in well-spaced Roman capitals. The word 'PROBE' appears in small lettering at the base of the coin, confirming the pattern (proof trial) status of this piece. The overall design is clean and uncluttered, with the heraldic elements dominating the composition. |
