| Obverse description | The coat of arms of the Federal Republic of Nigeria occupies the central field, depicting a black eagle displayed atop a heraldic shield supported by two rearing horses as dexter and sinister supporters. A floral compartment of native costus flowers forms the base, and a scroll beneath bears the national motto in the legend. The circular inscription 'FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA' arcs along the upper periphery, flanked by two small raised dots at the lower field. The date of issue appears in large numerals at the bottom of the field below the supporters. |

The large numeral '10' is positioned prominently to the left of the palm trees in the mid-field. The denomination inscription 'kobo' appears in lowercase Latin letters along the lower field beneath the palm motif, completing the design within a plain inner border. |
