| Obverse description | The Romanian national coat of arms — a shield featuring a spread eagle with wings displayed — is depicted in the upper left of the field, accompanied by the denomination '10 LEI' in large numerals to its right. Below, occupying the lower two-thirds of the coin, is a detailed panoramic view of the Mehedinteanu Refinery, showing storage tanks, pipework, and an oil derrick at left rendered in fine relief. The country name 'ROMANIA' is inscribed along the upper legend in capital letters. The name 'RAFINARIA MEHEDINTEANU' appears in an arc along the lower portion of the field, partially framing the refinery scene. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold industrial composition contrasting two eras of Romanian petroleum extraction: a tall, latticed early wooden oil derrick dominates the left and centre of the field, while a modern mechanical pump jack is depicted to the right. The date range '1857-2007' is inscribed vertically along the left margin, commemorating 150 years of the Romanian oil industry. The commemorative legend '150 ANI DE INDUSTRIE PETROLIERA ROMANEASCA' is arranged diagonally in the upper right field in bold serif lettering. The mirror-like proof fields provide strong contrast against the finely detailed relief of the industrial motifs. |
